Is there a specific requirement for session replication? Because you
might get generally better results if you just use sticky sessions.
That buys you load balancing, but not complete failover - but it may
be enough, if your failure rate is acceptably low.

I've set up session replication for a couple of clients, and the whole
thing just seemed a bit fragile to me. I'd prefer to use a database
for session management in this case, I think - which might involve
using Client variables instead of Session variables, or might involve
custom code to synchronize Session variables with a database.

Yeah, that doesn't really make sense to me either.
