ECK Operator stuck at "Skipping pod because it has no IP yet" - elasticsearch

Question

I am trying to deploy a two node Elastic cluster on my 3 node Kubernetes cluster using the ECK operator (version 2.4.0). I have deployed the operator by applying the CRDS and manifest. I then followed the quickstart steps to get started and planned to add persistant storage after.
I have applied following Elasticsearch definition:
---
apiVersion: elasticsearch.k8s.elastic.co/v1
kind: Elasticsearch
metadata:
name: quickstart
namespace: elasticsearch
spec:
version: 8.4.3
nodeSets:
- name: default
count: 2
config:
node.store.allow_mmap: false
A get all on the namespace:
kube#k8s-master-01:~$ kubectl get all -n elasticsearch

What am I misunderstanding from the Elastic docs? If relevant I use Traefik as Ingress, Calico as CNI and Metallb as LB.
