I think the difficulty is that a cluster of brokers usually means more than backup or load balancing; it means federation of some kind. Imagine local clients talking IPC to brokers that interconnect over TCP. This allows for very thin local client stacks (single threaded IPC does not need a full ZeroMQ). Brokers then need to interconnect and trade subscriptions and streams (optimally, since most traffic is local to local and never needs to cross the network).
