I don't see a connection between vinegar dosing and unstable alkalinity. I suspect that the variable evaporation rate is more important there.
Although the vodka most likely is contained in the nitrate reactor, I'm not sure why that should necessarily reduce the side effects. That would depend on what's causing the side effects, and we don't have an answer to that question.
Rather than pay for the reactor, I'd try a denitrator coil, possibly DIY, first. The risk level likely is lower, and it'd be simpler. Either of those approaches will have some risk.
