For a fully automated solution you can try this but I don't know for sure if it will work. I have other non fully automated solutions as plan B.
Set up a saved table to table import and an Automation run it daily to copy the formula date into a [last recorded formula date] field. ie import the record into themselves merging on [Record ID#] filtered by where those two dates are not equal.
Then set up another Automation to create a Work order when the
[last recorded formula date] changes.
Let me know if that works or does not work.

Just a thought. If you want the Automation to run more often than once a day in the middle of the night, you can make a new automation to do the same ting and trigger it off some other record being edited that you know if happening regularly during the day by regular users of ideally, triggering off a change into values that cause the formula to be changes, aside from the simple passage of time.
It is very light weight Automation to run a saved table to table import to look for records where the formula is not matching the [last recorded formula date].
So you can set that to be triggered perhaps many times in the day even if mostly it does not change any records, but then at least sometimes it does, thus creating the Work Order(s) earlier than "tomorrow".
