Is it possible to fly to a different country(Indonesia) during Visa approval and then fly to Thailand from there?
I would probably fly from Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand on the way back and reimmigrate in malaysia if necessary.
Could that lead to problems?

TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can fly to Indonesia while your e-Visa for Thailand is being processed. Once your visa is issued, the departure location does not matter. However, there are potential risks; if the Thai embassy becomes aware that you've left Malaysia during the approval period, it could lead to complications or even cancellation of your visa application.
Is it possible? Yes. Once the visa is issued it doesn't matter where you fly to Thailand from.
But there have been reports of people being asked for follow-up documentation proving they are either in the country or still in the country if the embassy gets any hint that you left. If that happened to you and they found out you left already, they would cancel your application.
