There are no such plans.

If you really want to use HTTP/2 to non-gRPC upstream servers for 
some reason, you may try to use grpc_pass for this.  Note though 
that its primary target is gRPC, and hence various differences 
from normal proxying, including:

- it doesn't use request buffering;
- it doesn't use response buffering and hence doesn't support 
  caching / storing responses;
- it passes trailers returned in the response to the client, which 
  might not be a good idea from security point of view.
