The later CAS servers supports SAML, so it probably makes more sense to just implement proxying between the two with SAML to avoid unnecessary third-party code. But then you already noted "change how you do it" is the point of asking the question.

There is one small area of complexity to getting proxying to work, but in other respects it is not a feature that is as complex to use as you might expect it to be. That surprises me more than anyone.
