It's kind of funny... the "need" for http/2 between proxy and origin seems pretty non-existant. There is a blog post by Cloudflare somewhere about how they don't see servers talking http/2 to the backend as anywhere near a driver, since all the things that make it "important" (koff koff!) between browser and server don't really apply. Even so, I do think that re-looking into leveraging serf might be useful, even if for other reasons.
