Synchronized operation of backup OBS instance

Is it possible to switch scenes (preferably via StreamDeck) on two OBS instances (running on different machines) synchronously?

Background
To improve the reliability of our webcasts, I'd like to add a backup OBS machine which has the identical setup like the main OBS machine. The main machine has a Blackmagic Decklink Quad HDMI capture card. The backup machine would get its signals directly via NDI from the cameras in parallel. I'd use a projector in OBS on both machines to output the signals via their HDMI outputs. Both of these signals enter a HDMI switcher which is connected to an USB grabber subsequently and which is plugged to the conferencing machine/software. In case something crashes on the main OBS machine, I could switch to the backup OBS machine within a second. Therefore it would be nice to have both OBS instances operating synchronously.
