We discussed this a while back, and iirc, the main issue that was brought was that we'd end up creating multiple sockets to the backend, which might be problematic both to the client itself, but also to the osds. A similar effect would potentially be achieved by adding more gateways. I'm not aware of any other issues. I'm having trouble coming up with what would go wrong. Having multiple rados connection means that certain ordering guarantees are lost, but I'm not too sure if and where we rely on these, and it will also depend on the way you implemented it. We'd love to see the code.
