Good that you have it solved now.

It applies to (almost) every directive -- either "inherited fully", or
"not inherited at all".

I’m just going to change the way my configurations are setup but it seems like there’s a potential bug unless I’m just missing something really obvious when it comes to 4xx responses.

At the time nginx makes the proxy_pass request to upstream, it does not
know what the response will be. So it cannot request differently based on
the response.

Show a config that does not act the way you want, if you want help with
that config.

Good luck with it,
