How does this proxy that provides cross-DC consistency work? And how does it guarantee that you'll get globally consistent reads? Most cases I've seen latency can affect throughput plenty so I doubt your assertion that it won't affect throughput quite a bit. Even more so for anything that relies on TCP/IP. I'd highly recommend reading the Bigtable[0] and Spanner[1] papers first and maybe then we can have a sensible and fruitful argument.
