This ^^

But I recall a number of previous attempts including plugins for
general load testing systems, what happened to them?

Honestly if you really want to load test properly though what you
really want to do is deploy a copy of your entire application and feed
it requests simulating user traffic. That results in more accurate
representation and gives you data that's easier to act on.
