Playing with NGINX and got my first reverse proxy working sending http://wordpress.mydomain.co.uk that points to the NGINX ip show my wordpress site
Now to try and get it to work with https - On that note
Do i need to get the wordpress server configured for SSL (https:) or is that handled by NGINX?Depends. You basically want the connection between your proxy and your webserver to be encrypted too. There are a few cases where you may omit that, for example if you trust your host and both systems run on the same metal.
Basically, the same reasons that make you use HTTPS on LANs apply here too, IMHO.

Another option is to set the firewall to only allow the proxy access to WordPress.

That's the more standard approach. Less overhead.

Issue with our ER-8-XG (Infinity): SFP+ ports won't come up after a power cycle. SFP+-modules on both sides are from UBNT, 10G MM. This is the third time where I'm facing this. The switch on the other side is an ES-16-XG.
