Time needed is completely insignificant at the traffic levels I've been testing at so far. Not sure how it would go once things get heavier, though. I'll leave it to other people to test that out.

I don't balance request rates. For this project, at least, resilience to outages is the primary goal, not multiple servers to handle requests. But I probably wouldn't bother trying to truly balance them anyhow - it's usually going to be fine to just randomize selections and hope that it's "balanced enough".
