In my experience, "no backend connection" indicates that whatever
backend was selected to handle this request was unavailable due to the
health check/probe returning an error.

What was the backend health at the time? You can use the 'debug.health'
command in the CLI to view health information, or

  varnishlog -i Backend_health

to see the results of the health checks as they occur. If a backend is
marked as 'sick' then Varnish won't send any requests to it, since it's
unlikely to help the situation.
