The use case is in a local datacenter, with a NAT-ed IP not exposed to the main web

A firewalled IP would be much more appropriate, and NAT is not a firewall or a security mechanism.

Same thing, more-or-less. And NAT is effectively a firewall for inbound traffic, even if a lot of people say it isn't.
