Alright, So there's no taboo here that I'm not aware of. It sounds like a lot of people do run Tomcat with Apache but not all and its simply a matter of what fits my needs best. So, there are no silver bullet issues (other than posibly this roon daemon thing) which suggests running Tomcat standalone in production is foolish, right?
Thanks.

That said - Apache has also been tested and proven with static pages, and has a great system for adding extentions. As such, many production environments run cgi, php, and other scripting languages for their web pages. Apache's role as a fully serviceable http server is much more broad than the http services Tomcat connectors provide. Tomcat connectors CAN interface with Apache to give jsp / servlet container abilities to Apache. Usually, people run Apache + Tomcat so they can use multiple scripting languages - since the entire world doesn't use java. While Tomcat does support cgi (via servlet calls), jsp / servlet containers were not designed with this explicitly designed as their main role - while Apache was. I have also never heard of a servlet that imitates php...although someone who never sleeps at night has probably implemented it.
