The only problem I see with reverse proxying of HTTPS is encryption.

If you are OK with content going plain text between webserver and proxy,
its easily solved by installing mod_ssl and a certificate on the proxy,
so that the actual secure session is between the browser and the proxy,
not browser and webserver.

Another way could be to have a SSL between Webserver and Proxy, and a
different one between Webserver and Browser.

I would think lots of people would have done this, Strangely enough, I
could not locate a document to do this step by step. Be the first to
document it and get 10 brownie points :).
