Cluster Master failure - is there any scenario searching will be impacted other than a search peer going down?

As in,
hypothetical scenario

If the CM goes down overnight and it takes forever (eg. 10h) for a standby CM to manually takeover/same CM to be recovered from a VM snapshot
but all indexers happily stay up (and able to contact each other), is there any chance a scheduled search not finding some primary buckets ?
