> - a tee loadbalancer for gRPC, forwarding the same requests to both A and B backend pools, but only returning results from A. I don't think Envoy has this, but it should.

Envoy can do this, via its shadowing feature. See the docs here: https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/v1.6.0/api-v2/api/v2/ro....

Great! I suspected it had to be in there, but it was hard to figure that through the docs. I didn't think of 'shadow' as a keyword, only 'mirror'. Thanks. One more reason to adopt Envoy and Istio.
Yeah, the docs are definitely an area of Envoy that could be improved. All the information is there, somewhere, but finding what you're looking for can be quite challenging.
