I don't use Docker for anything that stores state. I store it in a separate pool of servers that are solely for database nodes. At which point, I'm back to the "Service Discovery does not require a Docker-aware design." I think the issue here is I'm used to different assumptions than other people. I virtualize application/service containers. I don't virtualize the datastores but run those on bare metal whenever possible. So it goes LB -> pool of docker containers -> Database Cluster(s). The database cluster(s) are known in advance and are restored to the same DNS location when they are revived/moved/transferred. [e.g. I have a cluster of 5 DB servers, they are always something like galera1-servicegroup through galera5-servicegroup, or whatever]
