If this is how it really works then there should not be a problem with blocking.

Try using 'ab' with 250 requests and 250 concurrent users directly on your backend, if the results are the same as for 5 requests and 5 concurrent users then you have no blocking issues.

If with 250/250 takes alot longer then 5/5 your app is blocking and so will nginx.
