The original problem is not about mod_php vs fcgi, but about the fpm
not working by default.

What is required is enabling mod_proxy_fcgi, and ensure it's activated
with the attached patch.

This is just a proof-of-concept, I'll check that later (read: end of April)

I understand. But we have tried to move to php5-fpm in jessie and some
applications didn't work. I won't go into details, but the behavior is
slightly different, and it seems that mod_php is the most used (we
also had problem with mod_auth_cas not working with mpm_workers which
decrease the advantage of fcgi over mod_php). Anyway I don't care that
much about defaults as we use Puppet.
