There is a lack of documentation on what persistence exactly does. I could understand that data wont survive pod restarts if persistence is off.
For example, is the persistence folder shared across pods? If so is it expected that multiple pods will mount the folder in Writeable state?

I example shows access mode set to RWO https://gitea.com/gitea/helm-chart/src/commit/036b469ff9d4c2c3fe385eb623d7356157140c69/values.yaml#L275

Should it be RWX for most practical cases.

Persistence stores data that should be persisted - I am not sure really I understand what you mean by "what persistence does". You can inspect yourself what is stored under the persistent directory (e.g. repo data).

If you have/want multiple replicas, yes.

No, only if you want to run in HA = multiple replicas. The default is replicas: 1 and hence also uses a RWO. Not all environments have access to a RWX storage class and using it should be a deliberate decision.
