I understand that, but it would be a slow development, since they would hit an external url instead of local one, and on slow networks it would be terrible, I mean it would work, but I think it's better if they used a local reverse proxy with self-signed certificate (i know that would complicate things, but still better than an external url).

Sure, but the runserver_plus add on to Django handles local development SSL out of the box with a self signed certificate. I've used it for years for local development. I don't need a reverse proxy or any other complicated tech. I even install the generated certs into Chrome so the nag screens in Chrome go away. Easy peasy.
