You would need to terminate the SSL Connection in order to utilise layer7 persistence i.e. using cookies.
As you mention, the BIG-IP does not have to terminate the SSL traffic and can simply deliver the traffic to the backend pool members as is.
If you need any layer7 capabilities but don't wish to terminate the SSL connection on the BIG-IP then you could use the Proxy SSL feature of the client/server SSL profiles.
Hope this helps,
