Yeah. Inlining is generally bad... Now instead of downtime is ONE device fails, you have downtime if one of two devices fails... Or if one of them needs maintenance etc...
If you still want to run the traffic 'inline', then I'd policy route the web traffic via the filter (And use a VS on the F5 if it's inbound - Your diagram shows arrows from ISP -> F5 -> Barracuda, but you're mentioning user browsers, so I'm assuming this is really an outbound requirement?)
Unless the Baracuda has an optical bypass of course...
