Having been a long-time user, I can tell you the added complexity of every service having to allocate its own port, then tracking that port across every other service is a lot of overhead on its own.
Not to mention you also have to run a zookeeper cluster and two additional daemons on every instance.
All in all it's a good concept, but slightly too complex for my needs. Recently made the switch back to using internal ELB's for every service and not looking back.
