Idea is good but there are some things to consider:
- ip_vs_nat_xmit should check the route to real server IP
but must return NF_ACCEPT instead of creating loops by
sending the packets with IP_VS_XMIT. Checks for MTU,
hard_header_len and replacing of skb_dst should be avoided
for the 'rt->rt_flags & RTCF_LOCAL' case. As result,
the packet will be DNAT-ed by IPVS and the conntrack
will be altered to expect reply from the correct local port
and then just like ip_vs_null_xmit the traffic will
reach local stack. 127.0.0.1/8 should be rejected
for the MASQ method because the output routing called
by local stack will not want to send such saddr in replies.
- We have to check if ip_vs_out is prepared to work in
LOCAL_OUT: I hope icmp_send works from this hook.

I think, it should work for svc->fwmark too, eg.
consolidating traffic for many virtual IPs to single
listening socket.
