To be honest, I thought the talk was rather weak on substance. Sure, simple applications would scale better and stateless applications would scale even better but the real applications tend to become complex over time. In any case, if you are not covering JVM memory models, caching strategies and JPA, it's just not going to be very useful for many (most?) of today's real world business applications. The reality is that JVM is very good for trading memory for more performance and so most of the auto-scaling scenarios become memory consumption/optimization exercises and quests for downscaling reserved instances (for which cloud hosting providers don't have nearly as much incentive as for upscaling). Of course, this talk was specifically geared for GAE, where only certain type of applications and use cases can thrive.
