I see no reason why Gutenberg needs to go to the trouble and expense of dual sites.
One open site operating by US law has served them fine for decades. Nobody gets excluded unless their government volunteers them to be blocked. They can post an online signup sheet for the governments asking to be blocked.
That much they can do at minimal cost.

Alternatively, they can block everybody outside the US and its territories.
One time move, all conflicts resolved.
Anybody wanting access from outside can get their own IP spoofing VPN.

Either way works.
