Keep a log of deleted users and re-delete upon restore.

The GDPR contains exceptions for data storage for which it is infeasible or outside reasonable effort to delete individual records or you have legal compliances to uphold.

Isn't the log of deleted users subject to the GDPR then?
You can make a log of deleted users without it containing personally identifiable information, by just storing the IDs.
No since the GDPR exempts things you need for legal compliance, thus a list of users who have asked to be deleted is fine if it's being used to ensure compliance.
