I'm not seeing it in my testing (but I am not using your not-nginx part).

"chunk size" and "number of requests" are not related to
proxy_request_buffering.

Only "the time at which nginx starts to send traffic to the back-end"
is related to proxy_request_buffering..

If you add "--limit-rate 16000" to that curl command, do you see output
from your back-end server immediately, or only after enough time has
passed that your client has sent all of the content to nginx?
