For basic SETNX single instance redis instances, sure.

But for the Redlock algorithm, I've never encountered anyone that was already running 5 redis masters to use out of convenience.

You're much more likely to have an etcd, consul, Zookeeper, etc cluster that you could use for coarse-grained distributed locking.
