MTA -(lmtp)--> dovecot-director ---(lmtp)---> backend-server1 \---(lmtp)---> backend-server2

In this scenario it should be possible to use a non cluster filesystem to store my mails, isn't it?

Yes, that should work fine -- assuming you have acceptable uptime on the backend server that is hosting the messages. You also need to configure a user<->backend-server mapping trough proxy extrafield to make sure that the user lands on the correct server:
