With #4577 replicas will sync directly with their source of replication rather than pushing updates from the primary.
Today stats are collected at the primary level to support APIs and enforce backpressure. With the rw split we will ensure primaries do not have any direct communication with replicas and will not be able to collect these stats.
To fix this we can update our stats APIs to fetch the latest checkpoint from each replica directly and compute the required stats at the coordinator, eliminating the need for primaries to capture these stats.
