I've had setups with 2-node MMR on the front, and read only consumers. 
It works just fine, as long as any given consumer only points to one
master. Theoretically, it's supposed to work so that consumers can point
to more than one master in an MMR setup, but my experience didn't match
that (<http://www.openldap.org/its/index.cgi/?findid=8373>).

There's no config in ITS#8373.
But you mention accesslog DB.
Does that mean your setup used delta-syncrepl?

Yes.  It was simply a standard Zimbra MMR deployment.

If yes, does that issue also apply to normal syncrepl?

No idea. I generally consider "normal" syncrepl unsafe as using it can lead to data loss. I use delta-syncrepl exclusively because of this, with a focus on eliminating all scnearios in which it might fall back to "normal" syncrepl. (See <http://www.openldap.org/its/index.cgi/?findid=8125> for example).
