I had an issue with Certbot (let's encrypt) which failed to reload nginx due to a non-ASCII character in a loaded config file.
E.g.: `Attempting to renew cert (domain.com) from /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/domain.com.conf produced an unexpected error: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 762: ordinal not in range(128). Skipping.`
I found this character using `grep -r -P '[^\x00-\x7f]' /etc/nginx`.
prime256v1 (NIST P-256), secp384r1 (NIST P-384) and secp521r1 (NIST P-521) have been deemed insecure as per Daniel J. Bernstein's research (https://cr.yp.to/newelliptic/nistecc-20160106.pdf, https://safecurves.cr.yp.to/).
Despite that, the adoption of X25519 is too slim. Limiting to that curve would mean dropping compatibility with Safari, Edge and Internet Explorer.

TLSv1.0 & TLSv1.1 suffer from [POODLE](blog.qualys.com/ssllabs/2014/12/08/poodle-bites-tls) and other [padding oracle attack](blog.cloudflare.com/padding-oracles-and-the-decline-of-cbc-mode-ciphersuites)
You need to support only TLSv1.2 to expect closing those weakness (and use only AEAD cipher suite in case of padding oracle).
The same, non PFS cipher suite is not at all recommended (see heartbleed effect).
DHE support [is dropped](digicert.com/blog/google-plans-to-deprecate-dhe-cipher-suites) from any decent user agent and can lead to [mitm attack](media.ccc.de/v/32c3-7288-logjam_diffie-hellman_discrete_logs_the_nsa_and_you#t=1357) (arround ~25min in the video) with only one side supporting weak cipher suite.
3DES is deprecated and suffer from [sweet32](sweet32.info)
So I recommend using only the `EECDH+CHACHA20:EECDH+AES` cipher suite, which has [quite good compatibility](cryptcheck.fr/suite/EECDH+CHACHA20:EECDH+AES) and a very better security than the actual cipher suite.
