Also, if the load balancer is only pointing to one rabbit node and you have two subscription base consumer to the queue, are messages still being round-robin during runtime?

Messages between consumers that share a queue are distributed in a round robin manner
(with respect to basic.qos and acks) regardless of whether you connect to RabbitMQ over
a proxy.

So distributing connections to your app servers evenly should be generally sufficient.
