Just a side note: with "proxy_ssl_server_name" nginx uses the name
as written in the "proxy_pass" directive during SSL handshake. In
your case, it is "s3_backend". Most likely, this is not what you
want to happen. If you do not want to send the name (which is the
default), consider removing the "proxy_ssl_server_name" directive
from your configuration. If you want to redefine the name,
consider using the "proxy_ssl_name" directive
(http://nginx.org/r/proxy_ssl_name).

SSL handshake is expected to happen on each SSL connection
establishment. Depending on whether there is a cached SSL
session, SSL handshake can be full or abbreviated - with
abbreviated being more efficient.
From the logs you've provided it looks like SSL handshakes to
upstream servers is your concern.
If you want to avoid SSL handshakes to upstream servers on
proxying, focus on keeping connections to upstream servers alive:
this should be possible as long as the upstream server supports it
and it is configured on nginx side (and it looks to be already
configured in your config).
Alternatively, check that SSL sessions are being reused - this
normally happens automatically for statically defined upstream
servers (unless explicitly disabled with "proxy_ssl_session_reuse
off;", see http://nginx.org/r/proxy_ssl_session_reuse).

Note: here nginx restores previously saved SSL session, yet there
are none. This suggests this is a first request to the upstream
server in question within the given nginx worker process.

Note: here nginx saves the SSL session which was established
during the handshake. This SSL session is expected to be used
during following handshakes in the same worker process.

Note: here nginx logs handshake details. This handshake does not
reuse an SSL session, since there were none. If there was an SSL
session and it was correctly reused during the SSL handshake, the
next log line would be:
2023/09/30 18:07:19 [debug] 36#36: *9 SSL reused session
Check the following SSL handshakes in the same worker process to
see if sessions are actually reused or not.
Most likely, these sessions are properly reused, and everything
already works as it should.

As outlined above, most likely SSL session reuse to upstream
servers is already working properly in your setup.
Note though that SSL is generally costly, and you are using it for
both client connections and upstream connections. Depending on
the certificates being used, ciphers being used and so on costs
might vary, and there might be a room for improvement.
Hope this helps.
