Since you're using SQL Server, you can pass the list of values as JSON. EG

  var jsonValues = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(values.ToList());
  var filterValueParam = new SqlParameter("@values", jsonValues );
  var identifierParam = new SqlParameter("@jsonColumn", $"$.{identifierKey}");

  var sql = "select * FROM Items WHERE  AND JSON_VALUE(Attributes, @jsonColumn) in (select value from openjson(@values))";

  var items = dbContext.Items.FromSql(sql, filterValueParam, identifierParam).ToList();
