If you get bored you're doing it wrong.
Play to your strengths. I took a flat detour that added distance because I'm a strong rider on the flat. You need to weigh up the extra distance versus the climbing though and for that you need to know your speed up stuff vs. along the flat.
hippy-
Part of me wants the exciting roads, the sweeping vistas - seek out the biggest challenges cause when am I gonna get to ride there again?
But another part is thinking -well you're already going over a ton of mountains, why seek out extra pain when you can haul your 90kg body along the flat a lot more comfortably?
I really admired the dude who did the Stelvio even though he didn't have to last year.
Just not totally sure I want to be that guy.

Routing questions - long flat and potentially boring?
or
scenic, shorter and much more climbing?
