Read the first two paragraphs on that page...

...and draw a picture of what happens when a client sends a 1MB upload
to nginx, and nginx sends it via proxy_pass to an upstream. That should
show you why it fails.

Yes.

That's what nginx does.

Why does there need to be an upload_progress module in the first place,
instead of letting the upstream server take care of it?

In this case, you have put your upload_progress module on your upstream
server.

Not going to work. At least until you can use an "unbuffered
upload". Which is not in current nginx. (But is in other things.)
