No, you don’t need to turn forwarding on to use static routes - only if the machine is receiving IP datagrams on one interface and forwarding them out of another. After all, your default route is just a static route.

You also don’t have multiple paths AFAICS, but in any case there are some issues with path selection at the moment: [Multiple DRBD Paths Behavior](https://forums.linbit.com/t/multiple-drbd-paths-behavior/880) (which means probably best to steer clear for now)
