If you're not tied to bare installation of nginx, you could use docker for the job.
For example nginx4docker implements a bunch of basic env variables that can be set through docker and you don't have to fiddle around with nginx basic templating and all it's drawbacks.

nginx4docker could also be extended with your custom env variables. only mount a file that lists all your env variables to docker ... --mount $(pwd)/CUSTOM_ENV:/ENV ...

When the worst case happens and you can't switch/user docker, a workaround maybe to set all nginx variables with their names (e.g. host="$host") in this case envsubst replaces $host with $host.
