"connect" seems like a completely inappropriate word here.  It is
not obviously related to HS slaves and it could be taken to refer
to ordinary database connections (sessions).

Personally I agree with your objection to "crash" but not with the
objection to "standby".  Maybe this would be appropriate:
wal_mode = minimal | archive | hot_standby
