There is zero requirement to put a load balancer in front of an MMR setup.
But it seems to make much sense: In my experience if you configure multiple LDAP servers, the NSS resolver always uses the first configured server as long as it's reachable; even if it's not, the first configured server is tried first.
This depends very much on the client. E.g. sssd works fairly well even with simple DNS round-robin. The load is almost equally spread.
But again, the point with setting up mirror mode is not to spread the load at all. It is to force all writes to a single master. My point being, this is not a necessary requirement for MMR.
