I can see how this is useful if you are using a single node.js server as you wouldn't need any proxy in front of it.

However if you are using a load balancer in front of a handful of node.js app servers, does this offer any advantage over just using an arbitrary port > 1024?

Nope. It's only useful if you're using a single server, e.g. on a $5 DigitalOcean droplet.
