Ingesting data twice isn't a good option for us either so a store and forward configuration on a HF is now out of the question. I could see the individual IDX (non-clustered search peer) at the remote site working. If the main site SH goes down we can perform local searches on the remote standalone IDX. This site also has separate AD, DNS, etc. so it is a completely isolated environment. Maybe a single-stack non-distributed instance would work best here and if we decide we need HA we can stand up a distributed instance.

We currently use a single-site cluster for our main environment. We need to be able to receive data from a remote site to our cluster but still maintain search-ability if the connection from the main site to the remote site is severed (intentionally or not). The remote site has less than 50 assets and may ingest as little as 3GB a day. Converting our single-site cluster to a multi-site cluster is not possible. Should we use a heavy forwarder in a "store and forward configuration" at the remote site to forward data to the cluster? I believe we would have some sort of search capability at the remote site if the connection fails. Or Should we put a single Indexer at the remote site and have it connected as a non-clustered search peer of our single search head that exists in our main environment? In this configuration we should also have local search capability if the connection fails. I'm leaning on going the HF route or may even end up going with a non-distributed instance that gets backed up daily. What do you think?
