Dumb NSX question

Hi, (please don't crucify me for talking about sdn) I am really new on all this of NSX/SDN solutions, anyway here is my question, when you have a NSX Edge VM installed, it acts as a router for the whole VM infraestructure only internally? Meaning that it only works for the VMs on the overlay? Or can physical servers use the Edge as a router too? If so, do I ditch my L3 network hardware and go full L2 and let the Edge do everything? I have seen that it doesn some NAT but I don't get how that would work painlessly behind some L3 device? But if I ditch the L3 how do I go around with the management network?

Thanks!
