The anti-colocation should only be defined one-way. Otherwise, you get a
dependency loop (as seen in logs you showed elsewhere).

The one-way constraint is enough to keep the resources apart. However,
the question is whether the cluster might move resources around
unnecessarily.

For example, "A not with B" means that the cluster will place B first,
then place A somewhere else. So, if B's node fails, can the cluster
decide that A's node is now the best place for B, and move A to a free
node, rather than simply start B on the free node?

The cluster does take dependencies into account when placing a resource,
so I would hope that wouldn't happen. But I'm not sure. Having some
stickiness might help, so that A has some preference against moving.
