It doesn't seem worth the risk, especially if GracefulStopTimeout is only 1 second. The server will be unable to respond for a second longer, but most load balancers should be able to react quickly to that. (I think).
I would definitely set it longer than 1 second. I'd probably give it at least 10. Incidentally, I fake this in mod_perl 1 by having my server take down the page that the load balancer uses to see if the machine is up, and waiting 60 seconds before stopping the server. This gives the load balancer time to see the server is "down" and divert traffic, and lets the current requests finish. If you have multiple machines behind a load balancer, this is a pretty safe way to do it. - Perrin
