Not for your browsers, no. UBlock Origin is far better than any host-based adblocker. I use pihole to block ads inside apps, it's unmatched for that.

  That would be a suitable use case, but I don't think I use any apps that contain ads.

    It's not just ads in apps, it blocks tracking beacons too. If I connect my (big Chinese manufacturer's) android device to my vps which has the pihole running I can watch as one or two requests per second are blocked with no browser open.

    Things like sonos devices make constant requests to metrics servers. Pi-hole drops that shit in a bottomless pit.
