Apache2 + Laravel wildcard subdomain routing - laravel

Question

I'm building webapp on Ubuntu + Apache2 with wildcard SSL certificates
My goal is to set up functioning project on 1st level domain project.app as well as several subdomains marketplace.project.app & partners.project.app
All of the project files are under the same directory:
www/project/
subdomains accessible via laravel router:
Route::domain('marketplace.project.app')->group(function () {
Route::view('','pages.marketplace');
});
serverside DNS records:
A | project.app | 127.0.0.1
A | *.project.app | 127.0.0.1
/sites-available/default-ssl.conf:
ServerName project.app
ServerAlias *.project.app
DocumentRoot /var/www/project/public
<Directory /var/www/project>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
.htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^127\.0\.0\.1
RewriteRule (.*) https://project.app/$1 [R=301,L]
All of the wildacrd subdomains e.g. bbb.project.app work flawlessly, but upon accessing app in browser via 1st level project.app apache does not render index.php file.
Is the setup I'm thriving for feasible in apache or should I switch to Ngnix?

Just to alert, You do not really need to use htaccess rules once you use apache2, ybecause "blahblahblah.conf" can handle htaccess rules.
To handle multiple domains and including htaccess rules with it, you can do the following (working example):
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias foo.example.com bar.example.com others.example.com
DocumentRoot "/var/www/laravel_folder/public"
<Directory /var/www/laravel_folder/public>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =example.com [or]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =www.example.com [or]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =foo.example.com [or]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =www.foo.example.com [or]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =bar.example.com [or]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =www.bar.example.com [or]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =others.example.com [or]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =www.others.example.com
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
</VirtualHost>
