Yes indeed, I don't think this is widely appreciated for some reason, though
I think the hybrid approach you refer to might actually be the most common
case (Java with a DCD).

Like many investment firms, we make use of multicast publish-subscribe and
message queue transports. Not all our recipients will be Java, hence the
attraction of one message for all.
