> What happens when multiple devices in your /8 want to listen on port 80 and 443 on the public address? Only one of them can. Now you're running a proxy.
I want to be running a proxy in that scenario, because I don't want any of it accidentally exposed.

Yes, but it's arguably helpful to have configuration mistakes still leave your internal network unexposed. It's harder to accidentally expose resources when your ISP won't route to them.
