You should delete the default configuration:

rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

Else someone could download *.php files (eg. configuration files) by using your ip-address as url!

Thanks for describing all the steps.
I would add additional deny rule to the virtualhost:

# Deny public access to wp-config.php
location ~* wp-config.php {
deny all;
}

Followed it and WordPress was installed flawlessly. There are other tutorials on web but I found it to be the best one if someone installs PHP7 on Debian 9.

Just 1 simple issue: The server of packages.sury.org is extremely slow. When I installed PHP, data transfer was at I think just 30-40kbps. But it got installed in a few minutes.

Thank you.
