Doesn't this just move the 'state' into the operating system, or networking layer, in the form of an active TCP connection?

You can use Session Ticket's w/ UDP too.

Nevertheless, with modern cloud providers moving the state into the OS/Networking layer is still easier to scale. You don't need to write your own services to handle it.
