If you want the *exact* same file to be used by all SolrCloud nodes, especially if your cluster is fairly dynamic, then having solr.xml in zookeeper makes this easier. Because SolrCloud does not function without zookeeper, having a critical server-level configuration file stored there doesn't require an extra dependency. If each node has a different solr.xml file, then you wouldn't want it to be stored in zookeeper. The solr.xml file configures a Solr server at a global level -- the 'upconfig' command is for uploading configurations for collections, which (with the notable exception of maxBooleanClauses) does not include any global config.
