Maybe I am being dense, but why is Proxygen a better solution here?

It's a library that you can integrate into your application rather than passing requests via an intermediary (so performance would improve). It's not necessarily a better solution unless you're optimizing for performance. It probably isn't if you're going for ease of development and maintainability.
