A per node cache simply means that the cache is not global and is better than nothing, though not ideal. Virtually all Shibboleth SPs don't have a clustered replay cache, it's just not worth it.

Most people who implement SAML themselves do a very bad job of it at best, and implement it incorrectly at worst. Using an existing implementation is almost always a better choice.

If you're doing something internal and very limited in scope, it might be defensible.
