My personal experience is the opposite: For one project I specifically slapped on an haproxy in front of the nginx after the fact, because I considered it's HTTP "rewriting" abilities way superior.
What I could do with a single ACL + http-response set-header (setting a specific CSP for a single path only) would have resulted in great pain with nginx only.
