I have no need for a PiHole currently, but I will likely set one up if that happens.

PiHole is nearly useless these days. It doesn’t block the majority of the ads and DNS blacklisting on its own breaks websites.

The only way to do ad-blocking these days is with DOM manipulation.

This is not my experience at all. pihole blocks a massive amount of ads in my home. It is extremely rare that any website ever breaks.
What adlist are you using?
DNS blocking is entirely insufficient compared to DOM interception and filtering, especially with domain fronting.
