Have you tried a tcpdump of the packets between the Go program and nginx? Is it using HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/2? If it's HTTP/1.1, does tcpdump show that it actually starts all 50 HTTP client requests simultaneously?
You are making all these concurrent requests to the same host. The default of MaxConnsPerHost I believe is 0 (unlimited), but DefaultMaxIdleConnsPerHost is 2. It could be worth cranking that up. I wonder if it's being forced to close down 48 of those connections immediately because it can't return them to the pool. I also wonder whether there's tuning required at the Nginx side, e.g. for the backlog queue.
