Is it really necessary to maintain the state of the entire network on all federated nodes? (Since I'm guessing that's what you've described)

  It isn't necessary, and we don't do it. What I've described is what happens if you type '/join #matrix:matrix.org' and your server starts participating in a large room which spans tens of thousands of users and hundreds of servers. Rooms are only replicated over the servers which participate in them. So if you don't join massive rooms, your server can be have fine. (And in the near future massive rooms should be usable too).
