Wouldn’t be inefficent for a follower to reach a leader in a different zore in terms of performance?

good question, Ata.

I think it's about the tradeoffs. Some clients could tolerate eventual consistency, thus achieve relatively low latency reads.

Also the leader could be deployed in zone where most users are located for better performance.
