Based on what you described I'm pretty sure you missed the part that
pfsense does not support ECMP and thus will only accept a single default
kernel route. In other words it cant be done and to be honest a single
pfsense receiving 2 default routes does not give you any redundancy except
2 interfaces. One of them needs to be the default box anyways and all you
can do is policy routing. I would remove osfp between the front routers and
pfsense and set it up as loadbalancing dual wan. That is the only solution
that makes sense. The front routers need a interconnect so that they will
handle a gw failure and ospf itself would clear the routes in case of a wan
failure after ospf looses its neighbour. This will create failover and
redundancy on your wan as well as the ability to policy route based on
cost. And you can enable gw monitoring if you do it this way. You will
offcourse need to static route the path to the monitoring ip on your front
routers so that each front router will allways send it out on the correct
wan.

Hth.
