When is it necessary to have SSL on the LAN side of a reverse proxy (between the reverse proxy and the server)? (sh.itjust.works)

Without SSL on the LAN side of a reverse proxy, I presume that all traffic between the server and the reverse proxy is unencrypted and, thus, accessible to any device on the LAN.

Which specific scenarios result in this being a concern? The primary concern that I can come up with is if you know that there are untrustworthy entities connected to the LAN (untrustworthy devices, or perhaps malicious individuals).

Can you link an example on how that can be done?
