It's bad enough we got extra work for those who use adblockers. Wasting peoples' time and attention for not using one (out of personal choice or necessity) feels like overreach.

It's also deeply paternalistic: Even if it is meant well - and I assume that's the case here - it implies the site operator knows better than the user what is good for them.

Finally, this will also lower the guards of less technical users for installing random plug-ins on website demand.

From a subjective gut feeling: Please do not do this. Let people decide what they need, and what they don't need.
