I think it's over complicated too, but I bet that in real-world use, the latency might not be that noticeable. For one thing, if your DNS server is nearby, as it traditionally is with an ISP, latency is usually low. If you want to establish a TCP connection quickly, one thing that helps an enormous amount is to move the server as close to the client as possible. I don't know if they are planning to do this, but you could also do some connection caching. Keep that TCP connection open while you are browsing. It is a shame to have to do things to mitigate latency that you could have just not added in the first place. But at least the mitigation probably works.
