If the caching issues are because your backend servers are configured
incorrectly, merely replacing Varnish with nginx is unlikely to fix
everything.

If they are because your Varnish is configured incorrectly, then
replacing an incorrectly-configured Varnish with a correctly-configured
nginx probably will help. But replacing it with a correctly-configured
Varnish would probably also help.

Good luck with it,
