It's handy to let nginx serve static assets in a setup like this.

From the documentation: "Without this buffering Gunicorn will be easily
susceptible to denial-of-service attacks."

In addition, you can have an application served at an easy-to-use
domain name instead of requiring your users to type
"ip_address:port_number." Sure, you could serve it at port 80, but you
still don't have the option of subdomains or HTTPS (security is
important, even internally).
Plus, it's literally one line in your nginx config file, just
"proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9999;" (or whatever your port number is).
You're not saving much effort by skipping it.

If you really don't want to use nginx to serve your static assets, you can
use s3 to host them. It's what I did on a couple of my asps hosted on
Heroku.
