Any screenshots of the said domain interfering with the said operations?
'Coz if it aint broken, don't fix it.
No, no screenshots. That's why I linked to Apple's technical documentation which describes what the domain is needed for. I don't have anything more official.
In our corporate network it was released by corporate security with the note: "Needed for Appstore and iOS updates".

If that's not enough for you, that's ok too. Let's wait and see if it causes problems for any Pro users at some point.
I have whitelisted xp.apple.com in the home network in NextDNS.
xp.apple.com is fine blocked it doesn’t effect anything
