Lets say the client wants to remove RAC.
With DG + FSFO you get HA and DR in one, with an approximate 1 minute outage
whilst the observer switches the Primary and Standby roles. You can add onto
that the corruption checking and auto-healing you get with DG, low impact
backup from DR site, etc.
You lose the zero-outage patching capability, zero downtime server outage and
horizontally scaling for writes but the cost and complexity reduction may be
worth it in your circumstance.
