Others on the list are more expert, but I think your #1 Zookeeper will not get hammered.
As I understand it, Solr itself (the leader) will handle farming out the work to the other two Solr nodes. The amount of traffic on the Zookeeper instances should be minimal. Now - could your SolrCloud of 3 nodes get hammered too hard to keep up? Yes, but I believe you'd see Solr go down due to overload before you would ever see any trouble with Zookeeper because of load. I will be corrected shortly <grin> if I got any of that wrong...
