That all looks right to me. Have you rebooted the Pi since making the changes?
In my opinion that would be complete overkill for load balancing SSH logins, and even so, that would be SSH logins into the containers, so not directly into the Pis themselves. Unless, that is what you intended. I think it would be a lot of overhead still, though.
You might be better off with something like a round-robin DNS setup - this is something we did at a previous job. You could also use a proxy like HAProxy to handle the load balancing. That would probably be my suggestion for something like that.
