I think you also need to factor in the labor cost to manage two

I'd still use it to avoid the hassle.
Of course if you need load balancing across multiple Tomcats you
either need Apache or a dedicated load balancer appliance.
You can make your own LB using Tomcat.
Yes, I /could/, but Apache already does it. I don't want to invest
enough of my own time in such a thing to put it on an equal footing with
mod_jk and mod_proxy_ajp.
Until someone does, though, Apache is a really necessary piece in a lot
of configurations.
