From my understanding readiness operates when the pod starts. 
If it doesn't reach the replica your pods will never initialize. 
An option (for k8s) can be another container (in the pod) "389-ds-headless" which will do all the steps required to enable replication.

By files or by variables but are always present in the container. 

To enable replicas , k8s provides StatefullSet controller which is better to manage multiple instances/replication.

What I'm planning to do is to use readiness probes, which can be scripts, to handle dynamic configuration of replicas. I haven't seen any way that enables existing containers to know when a new container has been launched or an old container deleted.
