TLDR? Do you deploy one web application per tomcat instance or several?
As you list the arguments quite well, I'd add my answer "it depends":
General rule of thumb, to be executed in that order: If they're too few
applications to worry about (and if they're stable): Don't worry, One
server.
If they're completely unrelated and have different stakeholders and/or
maintenance intervals: That's a good argument for multiple servers
If there are unstable applications (in the sense of actively maintained,
forcing frequent redeployments): Another good argument for multiple servers.
If there have been problems in the past with load/memory etc: Good
argument for multiple servers.
This /might/ end up as one app per server, but the number one is not the
end goal. There are typically some related apps, with the same
maintenance intervals and stakeholders - unless one of them is
problematic, I group them together.
I hope that helps.
