Yes, for that reason, load balancer uses only cluster_2.
In order to back cluster_1 to replication table, it needs restart with -R option as you did.

please check cluster db's status in the "pglb.sts".
If status of cluster_1 is neither 'initialize' nor 'start use',
recovery might be failed.
If so, please check the debug log of replication server.
Probably, you can find something.
