Yes, this will only hit the common small-site case. Hopefully if you're running "multiple web apps across multiple servers using a load balancer" you will have the skill to configure HTTPS properly for that situation, which will probably involve custom configuration on the load balancer. It's not a criticism of something trying to solve the common case, where the common solution up until today is pretty much "just forget about it", that it doesn't work at "cloud scale".
