"if" is fine.

It is only "if inside location" which needs care.

My general guideline is:

do "return ..."; or
do "rewrite ... last"; or
don't do it without understanding it.

Ah, right. Yes, it is always best to create a scratch system with a
small config that reliably shows the problem you encounter (and which
contains no private information), and then copy-paste exactly what is
in the scratch system.

That way, everyone testing things is looking at the same thing.

(And the "nginx -V" output can be useful too, in case there are version
or compile-time differences which matter.)

I'd say that the problem was using "if" inside "location" without
understanding the nginx quirks.

Two or three "if"s might have been ok. One might have caused things not
to work as you wanted.
