I'll do back to a degraded state ... (that will hopefully not last too
much), that really all I can do without access to the backbone
equipment setup, wiring, etc. ...

Hum, it will depend on the LVS setup since my main concern is network
load repartition, that can do the trick with one VIP and LVS setup
with DR from the HAProxies (it's just a replacement of RR DNS). The
session initialization sequence (well the first packet) will still be
handled just be one box. Sound better than RR DNS from a failover
point of view.
