A webserver like nginx hosting a static (files in folders) website is incomparably more secure and less of a risk than say, opening your web browser and going to a website without disabling javascript execution. The number of nginx remote exploits in the last decade could be counted on one hand, probably without using all the fingers.

The mistake many make at the start is trying to run a complex web application backend with php or databases or whatever. Or using some "easy" container all-in-one containing these complexities. Maintaining the security of that is a neverending diffcult task. Whereas maintaining nginx installed from your OS repos literally requires no work at all. KISS and you'll be perfectly safe.

If you are just hosting static files, you could drop it on github pages and it would work perfectly for free.
