I think you're overestimating the cost factor of future-proofing an architecture for extreme scale (and 26K/sec/server isn't actually that 'extreme'). And instead of downvoting people who've walked that walk, perhaps people may realise this by engaging instead.
Also, I didn't read any 'arrogant dismissiveness' in the post. Each to their own! Happy New Year!
