In this case I suspect that EasyRSA is there to bootstrap etcd certs, since
etcd must be up-and-running in order for Vault to enter HA mode. But you
can also achieve the same result without EasyRSA, by starting with a single
unit of Vault (which provides certs to etcd), and then scaling Vault up
after etcd is running.
