Description

`backups.enabled: false` + `cluster.plugins.enabled: true` results in WAL backup failed (as there is no ObjectStore created anymore).

In my opinion, there should be only one switch to enable/disable backups + WAL archiving.
Everything else seems buggy to me. Even if the user is aware of this, it's just a hassle.

Research direction

Trace how the Helm chart handles `backups.enabled`, `cluster.plugins.enabled`, ObjectStore creation, and WAL archiving. Render or test configurations with backups disabled and the cluster plugin enabled; done means this combination no longer produces a WAL backup failure and the backup controls have one consistent behavior.
