Sure, it covers a very narrow scope but I am afraid the bigger issue would be that it is going to get spammed with submitted links. And those links will often be to strait up illegal content, it might not matter that such server instantly deletes all downloaded files.

And what kind of ecommerce site are you running on that nginx? First thing that get overwhelmed by bot traffic is DB. With a tiny one, with low total connection limit and bots hitting less common path like browsing 20th page of product search results, it is really easy to get DoS. I remember having to block Yandex user agent 20 years ago, surprising no one wanted to allocate additional resources so that crawler is happy.
I wonder what will happen in future when we get closer to the physical "wall". Will it allow other fabs to catch up or the opposite will happen, and even small improvements will be values by customers?
