That's a lot of steps for something that would be a simple route rule or mangle + mark routing on mikrotik.
The route rule would route out a VPN instead of the main route.
If the domain name resolves to many IPs you can keep an address list up to date using a simple script.
With proper configuration Mikrotik can do preety much everything network related. Awesome product and os.

I'm sorry but suggesting buying and setting up hardware as an easier and more accessible alternative to a purely software-based solution that will take at most a couple of hours to install is simply ridiculous.

Way to exaggerate to make a point much?
A mikrotik router can be purchased as low as $24.95 and it will not only provide you with an enterprise grade router, it will also provide you with the functionality I mentioned above.
The point of my comment was that it can be done at the router level, instead of requiring the user to run and maintain Pi-hole, Traefik, Gluetun, Nginx, and the server required to run these apps/containers.
