What do you care if the next hop is a Check Point firewall doing routing, or if it is some other router? IP routing is IP routing. The only care is that need to make sure that each cluster uses an unique identifier. read all about the mac magic (or was it magic mac?) in the knowledgebase. I fail to see how you can make clustering work without the use of properly connected L2 switches. I suggest you take pen and paper and make yourself a drawing of it and follow the path for each variable. So think what happens if you take cluster members out of the drawing and see if it still works. I think you will see quite a bit of problems if you use direct connections without a switch in between.
