Leaving myself a note here related to https://meta.discourse.org/t/manage-group-membership-in-discourse-with-wp-discourse-sso/74724#restricting-access-to-discourse-when-a-membership-doesnt-exist-4. If the WP Discourse Create or Sync Discourse Users on Login option is enabled, Discourse accounts will be automatically created for all users on the WordPress site, even if they are prevented from logging into Discourse via the method outlined in the OP. Details about how to prevent accounts from being automatically created for users who do not have the appropriate membership level are in the second part of this post: How to prevent some WP users from being able to login to Discourse - #2 by simon.

Basically:

add_filter( 'wpdc_bypass_sync_sso', 'wpdc_custom_bypass_sync_sso', 10, 3 );
function wpdc_custom_bypass_sync_sso( $bypass_sync, $user_id, $user ) {
    if ( /* Some condition that returns true if the user doesn't meet the membership requirement */  ) {

        $bypass_sync = true;
    }

    return $bypass_sync;
}

I’m setting myself a reminder to update the OP with those details.
