COMMENTS
There are no 3 consecutive integers that are products of primes of nonprime index since 1 out of 3 consecutive integers is divisible by 3 which is a prime-indexed prime (A006450).
If a Mersenne prime (A000668) is a prime of nonprime index, then it is in this sequence. Of the first 10 Mersenne primes 6 are in this in sequence: A000668(k) for k = 2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 (see A059305).

EXAMPLE
7 = prime(4) is a term since 4 is nonprime, 7 + 1 = 8 = prime(1)^3, and 1 is also nonprime.
MATHEMATICA
q[n_] := AllTrue[FactorInteger[n][[;; , 1]], ! PrimeQ[PrimePi[#]] &]; seq = {}; q1 = q[1]; n = 2; c = 0; While[c < 55, q2 = q[n]; If[q1 && q2, c++; AppendTo[seq, n - 1]]; q1 = q2; n++]; seq
PROG
(PARI) is(n) = {my(p = factor(n)[, 1]); for(i = 1, #p, if(isprime(primepi(p[i])), return(0))); 1; }
lista(nmax) = {my(q1 = is(1), q2); for(n = 2, nmax, q2 = is(n); if(q1 && q2, print1(n-1, ", ")); q1 = q2); }
