I think you mean collecting all email addresses and connecting them (manually) to the correct mailbox in the config of Postfix (or equiv, I have no idea what is used at my hosting provider)? That sounds like a doable one-time action if all new addresses use proper sub-addressing.
I didn’t realize you did not have control of your Mailserver.
Still, the sooner you get off the method you are using the better off everyone is going to be, I wouldn’t count on a mail server not noticing your multiple forwarding to different addresses and putting a stop to it, as it is resource intensive.
If you have access to create new email addresses you also probably have access to create aliases as well.
# Outside address ALIASED TO INSIDE ADDRESS amazonjohn@example.com => john+amazon@example.com roll20john@example.com => john+roll20@example.com appljohn@example.com => john+apple@example.com applenotjohn@example.com => notjohn+apple@example.com Etc etc
This removes the need to sieve scripts that try to parse the from.
