Desktop email clients I know don’t load images by default, neither does gmail (well it does but it’s proxified) so this is quite literally not an issue

Does a proxy really help if the url is parametrized? Even if they do some param stripping a wildcard subdomain can easily get around that.

A proxy helps not to expose your IP and user agent which is good enough in most cases.
