I actually think I may be mistaken.
I've always believed GDPR was a regulation that crossed borders. Meaning it applies to any EU citizen, no matter where they are located, which is what made this unique (being that it's not my countries laws). But:

from https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/r...
So now I'm wondering if an IP address reverse-geo lookup to block IPs in the EU is the easy way out for many online services, presuming that this doesn't cause compliance issues for EU users using a VPN.

It sure is a good way to communicate that you don't care about my privacy and should not be getting my money ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

GDPR is a headache and makes doing the right thing harder.

Yes.
Running any service where you are not sure of legal requirements might require consulting a lawyer first, how is it unique to GDPR? And in order to be on the radar for GDPR violations as a small business you REALLY need to do something seriously wrong.
