Hello!
For us ECMP is important as we load balance connections to remote customer sites across different ISPs for redundancy and performance.
When doing that, please keep in mind that whenever the characteristics (delay and throughput) of the lines are different, TCP congestion control algorithms tend to fail miserably. This greatly limits the usefulness of any multipath routing.
