I'm just a hobbyist, so take this as you will, but my experience with NGINX is bad. Sure it might be fast (does that even matter at normal scales?), but it configuration is a pain in the neck, as this article conveys. Common things seemed hard and fragile to me, like getting the reverse proxy set up with Let's Encrypt. As it's just a thin layer on what I am actually doing, spending days or weeks learning the proper way to do things felt like an imposition on my time. At some point I broke my config and gave up on it – I moved my whole site to a new VPS without a reverse proxy and encrypted through Cloudflare.
I've since moved to Caddy, and uh, wow, this is what it's supposed to be like!
