This is completely true.  It is historical record that of all RSRH's many
followers (and he had many, many adherents of his views), only about 10-20
followed him in the Austritt, because it meant not only not being buried
with one's relatives, but also that one no longer was part of the Gemeinde
hospital, old age home, could not use the communal hall where simchas were
held.  They remained followers, but could not afford or could not bring
themselves to cut themselves off from all of the community.

While this could have been the case in Germany - it was not so in Hungary.
One couldn't belong to 2 communities there.
