I'm doing a quick audit on an nginx deployment and want to make sure something is implemented correctly

We have a handful of domains that redirect http traffic to https.

we used to do this, which is very efficient:

sever {
listen 80:
server_name example.com www.example.com;
return 301 https://www.example.com$request_uri;
}

now we use SSL certificates via letsencrypt, and need to keep a specific location on port 80 open to proxy into our custom renewal client.

the only thing I could think of was this:

sever {
listen 80:
server_name example.com www.example.com;

location /letsencrypt/ {
# proxy to client
}
location / {
return 301 https://www.example.com$request_uri;
}
}

Is there a more efficient way to accomplish the above or is the above the best way?
