I can't imagine you'd get decent enough performance with it to do that if
your load is high enough that you'd need to avoid sticky sessions. Have
you looked at isolating the SP session so that it doesn't involve more
than an initial page? That doesn't require anything but a very short term
stick.

The physical software runs once per web server, that's all it can do.

Not physically, no. The logical separation of resources into applications
is the only separation it supports.
