The next.config is a permanent redirect to a hardcoded URL, mine is dynamic.
The other solution requires javascript, ideally I want a solution that works with javascript disabled

Ok so @Bengal
I remember the nextjs team mentioning that router.push might work with js disabled (yes I know it needs a client components.. black magic what can you say)
Now I'm not sure
So give it a try
What's the error you get btw using redirect for an external url.. since redirect should just work default with an absolute url

you can use permanentRedirect

permanentRedirect also accepts absolute URLs and can be used to redirect to external links.
1. it throwing error is how it works (so if you have try catch, you need to rethrow the redirect error
2. you really need to think about perm redirect as removing that cache from clients takes some time
