Actually, I proposed two solutions. While the bash script is messy I
will admit, the optimal solution of having a parent and child proxy is
rather elegant, fault tolerant, and works without issue.

The child proxy simply ignores and bypasses the parent proxy while the
reload procedure is underway, and resumes passing traffic through it
when it is ready to serve requests. You should try it.
