Dbizzle,
You're right on target, the issues around SHC support for many of our apps has to do with data management, configuration and customization replication across all the nodes in your cluster. In some instances apps will work out-of-the-box with SHC but as you've seen, that is rarely the case.
I am happy to report that Unix/Linux, Windows Infrastructure and Exchange will all support SHC on their next release which is coming very soon. I will update this ticket as soon as we officially release the updates.
