No this is actually the perfect solution.
A ‘dumb’ WACZ replayer server that takes a querystring WACZ resource (like https://replay.example/?wacz=https://blossom.example/<id>.wacz#/?url=https://site.com/), downloads it to a cache, builds an in-memory URL -> response index from the archive, and then serves archived HTTP responses under a replay path - rewriting links so the browser keeps requesting resources from the archive instead of the live web.

This wacz replay server would be separate from the blossom archives, you just arrive at the server and tell it which wacz to load. it doesn't have to care who's serving the wacz, if it's from blossom or s3 or whatever, as long as the file is publicly-downloadable.

you should do this in wayback.st once you finish whatever else you're doing 😆
