For a Hyper-V stretched cluster, the best solution often includes using Storage Replica for synchronous replication, paired with a robust failover cluster configuration across geographically separate sites. Ensuring low-latency, high-bandwidth connections between sites is key for performance and reliability. Also, implementing a witness (cloud or file share) can help with quorum management and automatic failover.

There is a better way to set it up, as Hyper-V replica does not offer that seamless switch and migration, AFAIK.
Also, there are tons of benefits of the active-active replicated storage over active-passive in terms of reliability.
