One thing to point out is that if you want to install certain product documentation (e.g., ITSM) it wants to install it in the web server's document directory. I'm not sure how that would work, since tomcat consider the subdirectories to generally be associate with JSP applications, and I don't know if the installer would handle installing the HTML docs under Tomcat.

All IIS will do is pass on requests to Tomcat, which has a perfectly good HTTP connector of its own. And if you really want to do load balancing etc., then consider Apache. Even if you have two or more Tomcat instances running Midtier then you may want to consider a sticky load balancer in front of the instances, which still gives IIS nothing to do. So in your situation, using IIS sounds like it'll just make management of the solution more complicated.
