Good that you have it working.

Yes - if what you want is "the back-end is able to identify the IP
address of the client connecting to nginx", you don't need real_ip at all;
you just tell nginx to set a header like X-Forwarded-For, and tell your
backend to believe whatever nginx set in that header.
