As far as I know nginx cannot pipe a request into upstream, since probably there
was no intention initially to do like this. Moreover it is not trivial to
implement from my point of view.

Does it mean that every POST request is saved to disk before it's forwarded to a backend? If this is the case then, well, we will just have to live with that, but this will degrade our performance dramatically.

No, a request body is saved to a disk only if it is larger than client_body_buffer_size:
