Just a thought,
Have you considered network bandwidth increase, as your traffic will increase by 50%.
About getting rid of the arbiter, you may check the following:

Hi Everyone,
I have wrongly configured the main gluster volume ( 12 identical 1tb ssd disks, replica 3
distributed-replicated, across 6 nodes - 2 per node ) with arbiter one.
Oviously I am wasting storage space in this scenario with the arbiter bricks, and I would
like to convert the volume to non-arbitrated one, so having all the data evenly spreaded
across all the disks.
Considering the the storage is being used by about 40 vms in production, what would it be
the steps, or is there any chance to change the volume type to non-arbitrated on the fly
and then rebalance ?
Thank you very much !
