Okay, I found another rationale beside performance and simplified
intra-zone routing (though not as apparent as exclusive routing).
It seems that the shared IP stack offer better protection against
sniffing on colocated environments (i.e. zone-based hosting): it
is not allowed to use promiscuous mode on NIC aliases used in the
shared stack, while sniffing does work on exclusive VNICs.

That might be a serious difference in some cases...
