I mean, isn't that even worse?

If I have 100 servers and I'm doing rolling deploys then I'm going to be in a circumstance where some ratio of my services are in one state and some ratio are in another state.

If I am reading per-request from redis (even with a server cache) I have finer-grained control.

For me it is a question of "is the config valid for the life of this process" vs. "is this config something that might change while this process is alive".
