This isn't detected automatically though, right? Someone would have to reverse engineer your setup and add it to the lists?

uBlock does detect this automatically, without reverse engineering your setup and adding it to their lists.
This assumes you self-host analytics.js and proxy GA API requests through your domain without changing path/query. If you manage to reverse engineer analytics.js and change the path/query AND proxy through your own domain, then this likely wouldn't be detected. But there's a chance that Google will make changes to analytics.js that aren't compatible with your reverse engineering it, and your setup breaks.
