Yes, the ImR could manage load balancing and so on. To avoid the ImR
being a single point of failure, it could be replicated itself, and
produce IORs containing endpoint information for all the ImR replicas.

I agree. I imagine a hierarchical logical program identity space, with
physical processes associated with parts of the hierarchy.

Cheers,
