Maybe I'm misunderstanding the terminology here, but if not, I find
this theory wildly implausible.  *Most* people want read-your-writes
behavior.  *Few* people want to wait for a dead standby.  The only
application of the later is when even a tiny risk of transaction loss
is unacceptable, but the former has all kinds of clustering-related
uses.
