+1 for BGP/OSPF-based VIPs in a layer 3 network. It's 2018. No reason why you can't easily run a layer 3 network with rich routing protocols. Super easy.
You don't need application level "discovery" when the IP never changes; the network will tell you where it currently lives.
I'll take a layer 3 network over raft/consul any day and all night.
