You can definitely try use NGINX Unit, that can help in many cases.
One of the main benefits you may see is to use several different versions
of PHP (in case that's supported by your favorite UNIX/Linux distribution),
so you can easily switch from a previous version to a new one.

For NGINX Unit specific cases I'd recommend to subscribe and use unit at
nginx dot org mailing list.

Thank you.
