Is it really worth this effort compared to just distributing the cache across the 2 (or more) servers and making sure your backend data source can handle the load when one of the cache servers is down?
In my applications, no. I agree, having redundant hot spares of memcached isn't necessary. But I could understand in cases where the cached data is more intensive to generate, so very few misses can be tolerated, replication could be helpful.
