Correction:
The configuration I tried looks like this:

http {
upstream backend_testing {
ip_hash;
server ...
}
upstream backend_staging {
ip_hash;
server ...
}
upstream backend_production {
ip_hash;
server ...
}
proxy_cache_path /mnt/nginx_cache levels=1:2
keys_zone=one:100m
inactive=7d max_size=10g;
proxy_temp_path /var/www/nginx_temp;

map $cookie_uslnn_env $backend {
default production;
production production;
testing testing;
staging staging;
}

server {
location / {
rewrite ^(.*)$ /$backend/$1;
}
location /testing/ {
proxy_pass http://backend_testing;
}
location /staging/ {
proxy_pass http://backend_staging;
}
location /production/ {
proxy_pass http://backend_production;
proxy_cache one;
proxy_cache_key $my_cache_key;
proxy_cache_valid 200 302 304 10m;
proxy_cache_valid 301 1h;
proxy_cache_valid any 1m;
proxy_cache_use_stale updating error timeout invalid_header http_500 http_502 http_503 http_504;
}
location /wp-admin {
proxy_pass http://backend_production;
proxy_read_timeout 300;
}
}
}
