The original stateless way has fault and partition tolerance baked right in. By breaking this convention you open yourself to a world of hurt, no matter how many band aid concepts you patch over it. If you had ever designed or worked on a distributed system that needed to scale you wouldn't talk about adding servers and sharing state (distributed anything). Sure distributing state is a fail-safe strategy - but not a scalable or performant one.
