For example, like this:

site.ru/forum/ -> www.site.ru/forum/ (301)
www.site.ru/forum/ -> forum.site.ru/ (301)

It’s better then immediately site.ru/forum/ -> forum.site.ru/ (your K.O.)
I don’t presume to say exactly about search engines (although I subconsciously think that it affects negatively), but for you the harm is at least that that instead of one request you will get four.

For search engines, of course, this is always bad: you need to make two requests! But for you and for the project, in any case, it will be many times worse than for search engines.
A redirect is always bad, because Search engines do not consider such links good and consider the number of transitions, and sometimes the amount of response time from the server, and this will have a very, very bad effect on the result.
There are many prettier options for avoiding redirects that you have presented.

What prevents the author of the question from getting by with one redirect? Why such a problem from such a trifle?
