Sure, but what happens with an existing EPP-session when one of the
application servers suddenly becomes unavailable?

Yes, but that implies more complexity on the gateways/loadbalancers.

Besides that, we noticed there are quite a lot of registrars using a
'login-command-logout' sequence for every request they wish to make.
That is, in our view, less efficient than simply issuing one RESTful
request each time.

We've encountered a number of scenario's where clients ran into their
session limits unexpectedly. I remember one case where the client forgot
to send a <logout>, but that is off course their problem. There are also
scenario's where a flaky TCP connection or buggy client messes things
up. Every so often this results in questions to our supportdesk.
