Makes sense.
Thank you!

With watchdog-only SBD you don't need a fence agent; it's built-in to
Pacemaker when you set the stonith-watchdog-timeout cluster property.

However watchdog-only SBD isn't sufficient for a 2-node cluster,
because each node will assume the other self-fences but neither will.
You need either a shared disk or true quorum (via a third node or
corosync-qdevice).
