Doing so would presumably add latency and reduce the effectiveness of fast open. It would make more sense for the LB to just do NAT rather than proxying the connection. Is there any special handling in conntrack needed for this?

I don't think it would affect the effectiveness a lot -- presumably the backend server and LB are close by each other, so the latency between them matters less than the latency between the LB & client.
