I thought it would, but the Pinot in production page recommends “HTTP load balancers for spraying queries across brokers (or other mechanism to balance queries)“. Or is that to automatically route traffic away from a broker which has gone down?

Are you using controller to route queries?

Hmm, you don't need to (rather shouldn't)

You can have a load balancer over brokers. Brokers provide rest api for querying

We added query console to the controller so it can be one stop for everything (query/ZK/admin/etc). In production, there's no need to go through controller for querying.
