nginx is notoriously bad at not-HTTP 1.1. I wouldn't even bother trying.

Envoy is significantly better in this department.

Huh TIL. I had always considered nginx the “fast” http server.

Nginx is fast enough for most applications. I wouldn’t bother switching if you dont need the power of “software defined” proxy

Performance aside, if you need fully functional HTTP/2 and maybe HTTP/3 support then you're better off not using nginx. It's a pain.
