I understand your explanation fully but believe me I also have got 
hand-on experience with using the alternative, ie

1. I don't use multipath weight routing. 
2. I use PREROUTING all the way, ie I don't use POSTROUTING.

Instead, I use iptables  'recent' and 'statistics'/'random' match to achieve
load sharing.

I have use this for many years already, believe me I am not theoretical.
It's just a matter of different ways to doing things. If you search the web
it will come upon many others using the same method I used.

Cheers
