We do it at the App Level with WebLogic and it's such a resource consumer, we have to turn it off during peak levels.
My favorite thing about session replication is that it allows you to load balance HTTP Requests rather than just TCP Connections. Using OneConnect with no persistence, I'm able to take a user who sends 12 HTTP Requests and send 3 to each of my 4 servers. It makes for some very efficient resource usage.
