To be clear, this is talking about removing the "back end" SAS multipathing - the "front end" iSCSI and FC (in Enterprise) MPIO are sticking around.Kind of sad.
Fibre Channel multi-pathing worked very well. Even with longer distances, (where server was in one building and the disk array in another). But, FC was designed to allow switches between servers and disk arrays, which could then be isolated from another switch for the other path.
Of course, it was always a PITA to trouble shoot FC pathing problems. But, in general, lower risk of data corruption.
