i don't believe that APM (authentication) was ever a requirement for using the BIG-IP (or any system) as a reverse proxy. in principle a reverse proxy is nothing more then a device which request information from servers and services it to clients.
based on that i don't see why websockets are any different then other other tcp protocol.
