Wouldn't the bad tails of random routing be an unpredictably long length of time since long running requests times are unpredictable?

Even if you work on narrowing the fat tails, shouldn't you still need to be upfront and clear about how adding a new dyno only gives you an increased chance of better request handling times as you scale?
