Hello Jason, This approach of using httpd in front of 2+ Tomcats via AJP works well in my company. There is a bit of config necessary at httpd level so httpd is aware of all the Tomcats and also Tomcat config needs to be set to listen to AJP port instead of default port but it is not rocket science.
This facilitates the deployment of nodes sequentially with no downtime. Of course, there is a shared session server to take care the sessions are not lost when Tomcats flip up and down. Reply in pvt if you need help setting up this.
