Proxmox Cluster Filesystem holds the content of vital configurations in the mountpoint of /etc/pve. Regular backups of the mounted virtual filesystem do not guarantee consistency, backups of its actual backend database file in /var/lib/pve-cluster is also unreliable as this is a running database. Having regularly performed snapshots through SQL dump is indispensable to have the ability to rollback should e.g. a database corruption occur, particularly on single node installs.
