I'm a sysadmin / infra engineer by trade. DNS is something I stopped hosting myself because it's always DNS and when it goes down everything else does to.
Well my PiHole uses the DNS servers from CloudFlare so I don't actually self-host DNS, but having PiHole as DHCP server was the only way for me to have all my devices going through the PiHole.
In the end I literally had to give up, it's just too problematic.
