This question is making my head spin, but at least it's not as bad as the one with the dancing llamas.

Metric-type 1 with a higher metric on R3? Sounds like a classic case of 'the solution is right in front of you, but you just can't see it.'

Reconfiguring R1 in Area 0 could be the key, but I wonder if that might introduce other issues. Decisions, decisions!

Configuring a static route on R1 seems like a good workaround, but I'm curious if that's the most elegant solution.

But wouldn't reconfiguring R1 in Area 0 also solve the problem?

I disagree, I believe the best option is to configure R1 with a static route to the R5 networks and set R5 as the next hop.
