Agreed. I think the only use cases would be that your fist hop is stable but you want to proxy to another region over a lossy link but I can't imagine that would be very common. Maybe when using a satellite link or a inter-continental connection has a single over-saturated link but that would be a very fringe case. Perhaps when Starlink gets over-subscribed that could be a case.
