Cautiously hopeful that this does indeed work and that it does work for all variants... .. and that it also would not cost a fortune in 3rd world where we really need easily accessible and storable countermeasures against the bugger.

Ivermectin acts on glutamate chloride ion channels. It is not a protease inhibitor. And even if it were (which it is not), something that inhibits one protease doesn't work on other proteases. We can't use HIV protease inhibitors to fight covid, for example.
