Not really I think.

Squid already haves it's state machine programming model, and all State
Threads gives is the possibility to use a more normal threads like
model. The constraints and limitations are still the same wrt to disk
I/O, IPC communication to scale on # of CPUs and so on..

If someone was to build a proxy from scratch then State Threads is a
quite perfect match for the inner workings of handling the multiplexing
of several network connections on a single process. (Un)fortunately we
are not exactly in that situation.
