“Unfortunately, in attempting to do so, we erroneously deleted the data directory of the primary on db-01.”

Which docker container do you use, if you don't mind me asking. Also, how complicated would you rate the setup? I have a degree in network admin and run multiple Linux servers and docker containers with manually created docker network bridges so they can freely communicate with one another, to give an idea of my knowledge base. Honestly the only thing I haven't done before yet that makes me nervous is setting up a reverse proxy to expose the endpoint to the internet and connect it to my owned domain name.

I use the synapse container, I followed the docs on matrix.org.

As far as a revere proxy I use the SWAG container from linuxserver. My matrix instance isnt exposed to the internet or federated but it used to be. When it was exposed I was using fail2ban to ban exploit attempts but if I were to set it up again I'd probably use crowdsec instead. They are both built into SWAG.
