The simple solution is the same one already used for Building Pieces.
Many DLC build pieces are locked until you have the relevant vanilla game versions unlocked through knowledge.
Hell, The Artisan Benches already do this.
So having 3 distinct ID’s for the Aesir Bench with 3 different material costs that each unlock as you take points into Blacksmithing knowledge would work just fine.
The footprint of the bench shouldn’t be a concern. The difference between the Aesir Bench and the Garrison bench is minimal.
If anything, it’d be Pay to Lose because it feels larger than the standard T1 bench. Meaning that using it early is detrimental to your base size while being neutral on base size once you’ve reached T3.
