Yes, it sounds like it might have higher throughput and lower latency when nothing is contending and it isn't touching every shard per transaction. When those conditions are not met it suffers, possibly pathologically.

Actually the approach described by this post does much better than 2PC under contended workloads because it removes the cloggage problem (see the section entitled "The problems with 2PC").
