I resolved my issue of Roon RAAT not playing through Red to the Eversolo Dac-Z8. I have edited my post above, but I will further elaborate here. I am new to Roon, so I am still trying to understand how everything works. I think it needs several quality of life and usability improvements and this is definitely one of them. The short answer is the output of Eversolo DAC-Z8 was essentially locked out from being identified through the Holo Red output because it was already enabled as a local output device on my Roon server computer.
I had to disable the Eversolo DAC-Z8 as a local output device before it could be identified as a Roon RAAT endpoint through the Holo Red USB connection. This is pretty clunky as the Eversolo DAC-Z8 was not connected to the local Roon server, and it had not been connected for awhile. But I had once upon a time connected the DAC-Z8 directly to my Roon server by USB. I see no reason as to why it should be locked into being "enabled" on the local system when it was not connected anyway. Once I disabled the Roon server local connection to the Eversolo DAC-Z8, Roon identified the DAC-Z8 through its USB connection to the Holo Red using RAAT. So this is what I want and it is working.
Now my playback chain works as intended.
