Bad practice
In the industrial electronics world soldering anything to the back of a pot is considered bad practice.
I have serviced industrial electronics for 39 years. I have seen 1000's of pots in circuits of all types. The only place I have seen the back of the pot soldered is in the musical instrument industry.
Getting enough heat to solder to the relatively massive back of the pot requires a lot of heat and if your not good at it the pot can be damaged. It also makes changing the pot a lot harder. Grounding the case is done through the mounting.
