We did the same. We've replaced nginx/lua with a cache server (for video) written in Golang - now serving up to 100 Gbit/s per node. It's more CPU and memory efficient and completely tailored to our needs. We are happy that we moved away from nginx.
A german company building an app for watching linear TV. Netflix is actually serving 400Gbit/s per node and already have 800Gbit/s ready.
I think we can scale our setup up to 200 Gbit/s but we are too small. Total traffic is ~2 Tbit/s.
Most challenging is the missing support of QUIC/http3 and KTLS in Golang. Also 100G NIC supply chain is difficult. We use NVIDIA Connect-X 6, but it's impossible to get a version with TLS offloading.
