As you are chasing throughput, you should aim to lower the overall resources needed for a single request, potentially at the cost of latency. Unless you have really large documents, very special queries or something else making this an outlier, you will be much better off with just 1 shard and 2 replicas. Having more that 1 shard introduces an overhead for each request and for such a small setup it is relatively large. - Toke Eskildsen
