My DNS "server" is a router which can "add" static entries. Easy with static addresses, won't work with dynamic addresses.

What redundancy, multiple servers? Do you think everybody runs dedicated homelabs to access a raspberry pi.

Sounds like a pretty poor setup, systems which could auto-add DHCP'd or discovered entries have been around for literally decades. You're choosing to live in that limitation.

Multicast name resolution is a thing. Hosts can send out queries and other devices can respond back. You don't need a centralized DNS server to have functional DNS.
