Does Joomla require "/index.php?q=$request_uri" ?
When I have checked on their site, just /index.php was enough.

It's better to use try_files:

root  /path/to/root;

location / {
    try_files      $uri  $uri/  @fallback;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
    try_files      $uri  @fallback;

    fastcgi_pass   ...;

    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    # or just
    #    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$uri;
    # as here $fastcgi_script_name == $uri
    fastcgi_param  QUERY_STRING     $query_string;

    # other fastcgi_param's
}

location @fallback {
    fastcgi_pass   ...;

    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root/index.php;
    fastcgi_param  QUERY_STRING     q=$request_uri;

    # other fastcgi_param's
}

Probably, you can use omit @fallback:

location / {
    try_files      $uri  $uri/  /index.php?q=$request_uri;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
    try_files      $uri  /index.php?q=$request_uri;
    ...
}
