I don't know if there's any middle ground where you'd want to use Nginx instead of a CDN. If it's an internal app then it doesn't really matter. But if you have any reason to worry about the performance of serving static assets, then you should always be using a CDN like CloudFront or CloudFlare, etc.

But yeah, Nginx can be a great solution for load balancing and TLS termination.
