There is no point in adding a workaround to thumbnail guessing which makes it
slower than not using it in the first place - the whole point of the feature is
to improve speed. For sites which have a CDN or reverse proxy, sending lots of
requests which go around it will probably cause problems and/or be much slower.
You should just not use thumbnail guessing in that case. (And if you care about
speed, you should set up 404-handler-based thumbnail generation anyway.)
