You could run something like mod_security on your proxy servers if you
were worried about what kinds of requests were forwarded to your
backend, and wanted to make something "more secure" by putting a proxy
in front of it.

As it stands now in your scenario, adding the reverse proxy does not
harm the security of the solution.
