Ensure that nginx is correctly configured, since from what you have provided the django configuration looks correct (although I generally use /static/ as STATIC_URL - with the leading / but should work as you have it). Check the nginx error log to try to discover the cause of the 404s. I suspect that the location blocks are defined in the wrong order or the directory pointing to the incorrect location.
In any case, whitenoise is not a bad solution tbh, and very flexible besides. I would solve the above - which should work - before investigating that further.
