There are two types of mirroring - connection and persistence. You're right, it's not the recommended option to enable connection mirroring - due to the overhead involved. I wouldn't enable it for http connections but possibly ftp / rdp / ssh etc.
Persistence mirroring, on the other hand, is recommended. This means that on failover the standby appliance is aware of which pool member each connection is going to - this ensures a smooth failover (and hopefully invisible to the user). You don't need to mirror cookie persistence though - as this is client based.
