Acerca de であれ
Functioning as an extension of である, the formal copula that is a combination of the conjunctive form of the auxiliary verb だ, and the う-Verb ある, であれ or であろうと will be used in order to express strong will or conviction.
あれ is simply the imperative form of ある, while あろうと is the positive volitional form combined with the case-marking particle と. Both structures are usually translated as 'even if (A), (B)', or 'no matter if (A), (B)'. Despite this, the more literal meaning of each is closer to 'so it's (A), (B) still won't be affected'. This just emphasizes the fact that (A) is of no relation to the result, like saying 'so what if it is' in English.
Both であれ and であろうと will primarily attach to nouns in sentences that express some kind of question or assumption through words like どんな or たとえ.
As both であれ and であろうと use structures that indicate strong will, these grammar patterns will frequently be used in sentences where the speaker is expressing their opinions or resolutions.

I don´t understand the difference in usage between であれ and であろうと.
And if I see it correctly, it doesn´t get explained at all in this grammar point.
It just says to place them after a noun or WH-Word, but in the reviews であろうと gets marked as yellow/wrong and Bunpro tells you to use であれ instead?I first thought maybe it´s the case that であろうと comes after Na-Adjectives and であれ after Nouns, however, this is disproven as both come after normal Nouns in the example sentences. It seems to be a nuance in meaning and usage as the であろうと uses the volitional form, but without explanations I can only speculate…
It seems like you planned this grammar point exclusively for であれ and added であろうと as a similar alternative without any explanationsPlease add something there, Bunpro
