The sequence is: client writes to nginx; nginx writes to upstream.
Can you see: is the extra slowness in the first part, or the second?
The usual first place to look is in the log files.

You can probably look in the file /usr/local/nginx/off to see what nginx
says is happening; but you might want to increase the log level to see
more details.

You don't have an access log to look in. That probably does not matter
much here.

I think that those directives should not affect this test, either way.

That does sound unnecessarily slow. The (presumed) ssl/no-ssl difference
should not account for that much overhead.

I don't know the details, but what is nginx trying to connect() to that
is erroring every time? Is that likely relevant to the problem?

It is possible that the nginx debug log might have more nginx-related
details than the bare strace.
Good luck with it,
