SBAs are not checked during the resolution of a spell, so creatures won't die to the damage until the next time a player would gain priority.

If possible, would replacing "if" with "when" (and subsequently adjusting the wording to make sense) solve that problem?

Just swapping "if" for "when" wouldn't work since now you would enter something like stated-based delayed trigger land, which is high-octane rules complication.

The hard part is making the effect happen immediately, but not during the resolution of the spell, but also not multiple times.

It would be way easier to word something like "Whenever a creature dealt damage this way dies this turn, add {r}."

Getting a lot temp mana against a weenie deck is probably fine. I don't know if suiciding your own weenie field might be a setup for a combo, but I'll risk it.
