Might. Many others do.

ESI is a technology you mainly deploy on the reverse proxies. It's not
generally something which will run on local LAN->Internet proxies as the
content served between the web server and the ESI capable device is
different than what is delivered to the end-user browser.
With ESI that web page gets split into N components, each cached
separately by the reverse proxy.
For a medium site this serves as an flexible alternative to using
memcached etc to cache database queries and other resource intensive
operations, instead moving the query caching to HTTP reverse proxies.
For a huge site it provides an easy means of scaling the above up
effectively unlimited by deploying a cloud of ESI capable and caching
reverse proxies. Deploying a large set of "dumb" proxies is easier than
deploying a larger set of heavy web servers.
