HAProxy is a very robust component. It block protocol attacks which doesn't
respect HTTP protocol and forward other attacks. In other way, it can block
basic attacks with simple ACL (attacks like http://../../../etc/passwd).

With HAProxy in front component, you can process loadbalancing on your WAFs.
This is useful because WAFs use more CPU than loadbalancers.
