My main question is, if we did try to use the HA feature of the UAGs, and each UAG is pointed at its own connection server so that there's no 3rd party load balancer involved, if a connection server goes down what will happen? 

Two things. 1) Don't do that. I highly doubt VMware would support it because this is not their best practice for Horizon View. But I am sure you knew that already. 2) To answer your question, any connections to that connection server or access points connected to it wouldl be dropped. However, the users would be able to retrieved the sessions by reconnected if the brokers are configured as a POD.

Is the UAG smart enough to fail over to the UAG that still pointed at a working connection server?

Theoretically speaking no. It would not be automatic. The user will have to reconnect but again the comment I made above holds true. If it is a POD the users can retrieve their sessions from another connection broker and pick up their work on their desktops where they left off.

If you don't have a load balancer, just leverage NSX. Speak with your VMware resources and see if you can acquire that. I do not know much about NSX but I do know it is capable of doing load balancing.
