Off Label Use of Merge and Grouping Mode

Good day,

I have a map of VPC objects returned from the below:

variable "vpcs" {
  description = "List of available VPCs."
  type        = list(string)
  default = [
    "vpc123",
    "vpc456"
  ]
}

data "aws_vpc" "all_vpcs" {
  for_each = toset(var.vpcs)

  tags = {
    Environment = "dev"
    VPC         = each.key
  }
}

For each of the above VPCs I want to create R53 zones for a list of zones:

variable "dns_zones" {
  description = "List of available Route53 DNS Zones to manage."
  type        = list(string)
  default     = ["a", "b", "c"]
}

I created the below map to iterate through for the aws_route53_zone resource:

locals {
  zone_map = merge([
    for vpc in data.aws_vpc.all_vpcs : {
      for zone in var.dns_zones :
      "${vpc.id}-${zone}" => {
        "vpc_id" = vpc.id
        "zone"   = zone
      }
    }
  ]...)
}

resource "aws_route53_zone" "dns_zones" {
  for_each = local.zone_map

  name = each.value.zone

  vpc {
    vpc_id = each.value.vpc_id
  }
}

This feels a bit like an off-label use of merge and grouping mode. Is there a better design pattern to create the below map:

zone_map = {
      + vpc123-a = {
          + vpc_id = "vpc-1111"
          + zone   = "a"
        }
      + vpc123-b = {
          + vpc_id = "vpc-1111"
          + zone   = "b"
        }
      + vpc456-a = {
          + vpc_id = "vpc-2222"
          + zone   = "a"
        }
      + vpc456-b = {
          + vpc_id = "vpc-2222"
          + zone   = "b"
        }
}
