I think your viewpoint might be somewhat inflexible if routing logic in the client & server looks like "faking a reverse proxy" to you. That's where the rest of the logic is, after all, and when designing systems we generally prefer to have the logic in fewer places. It's a proven design rule (the end-to-end principle) to prefer the smarts at the edges of your system, and the problems stemming from the reverse proxy described in the article, in my book, counts as further evidence for this idea. |

That's exactly what reverse proxies do - leaving the internal apps free to just serve requests instead of worrying about the perimeter.
The problems described in this article have nothing to do with reverse proxies but rather the ingress controller and config settings.
