I have ~50k in a hysa earmarked for a future down payment. Would it be wiser to backdoor that cash into a mega Roth to increase earnings and then take out what I need in a year? Or better to keep them separate

Well first off, you can't megabackdoor cash. It has to be through 401k contributions. So that's not an option.

Second, you need the cash in a year. The market is risky in short time frames. Just keep it safe in a HYSA. Maybe ibonds too if you can wait exactly 12 months.
