You might want to look into using worker templates: you can set all of
this stuff for a single template worker and inherit them in the
individual ones. Useful for a consistent configuration for all workers
in a lb cluster.

This should failover to worker2 if worker1 suffers an error, even though
worker2 is set to disabled. The docs say as much: you can use this as a
hot standby.

You might want to look at the ping_mode, "good", "bad" settings, too.

If your index page is being served by Tomcat/worker1, then this
configuration should fail-over to worker2. Is that not what you are
observing? If not, then please tell us what you are observing.
