When configuring a protection policy for synchronous replication between two Nutanix on-premises availability zones (AZs) without utilizing a witness VM, under the Failure Detection Mode setting, in what scenarios should Manual Mode be used, and when is Automatic Mode recommended and that related to witness service?

Correct, the automatic is for when witness is configured. 

Manual means you have to start the failover from the recovery plan yourself.
