You are using 4.1.4, which does not have backend_clustering_mode
parameter.  You mixed up 4.2 or higher pgpool configuration file and
4.1 pgpool configuration file?  Please check.

I also recommend you to update to more recent versin 4.1.x. 4.1.4 was
released 2 years ago.

BTW, there's the reason why node is down:
Feb  8 22:49:07 pgsql-awsbau-masterdb pgpool[1306560]: 2022-02-08 22:49:07: pid 1306560: LOG:  reading status file: 0 th backend is set to down status

The information (node 0 was down) is stored in
/var/log/postgresql/pgpool_status in your case (under logdir).  You
can safely remove the file and restart pgpool to make node 0 online.
The file will be automatically generated upon start up.
