Hmm, I would think it should work though as far as restoring the
connection.  I just recently read up on LASH so I'm still a bit rusty.
But from my understanding, when a session is restarted, the LASH server
will pass special command line arguments to FluidSynth, which get
intercepted by the lash_extract_args.  This allows LASH to match any
created Jack ports and connect them accordingly.  At least that was how
I understood it (I could be way off, didn't get too much in depth into
the API).  So I'm wondering why it doesn't work if
--connect-jack-outputs isn't specified.  I'm planning on setting up LASH
at some point soon to test it.  Maybe I'll find something.
