Any recommendations on this front? I've been dreading the day that I'll have to deal with apps ignoring the pihole and using their own DNS servers, especially

  yes, google and the like reportedly already do this, so pihole bypassing is already here. i bought a pepwave surf soho[0] a few years back, largely because it had a few other features (multi-homing, multi-wlan, robust vlan'ing, etc.) that i wanted due to my peculiar circumstances. it has limited blocklist support however, but does allow manual blocklist curation of arbitrary length, including cidr-formatted IP ranges. the main downside of this router is that it's 100mbps (actually ~120mbps)[1], but that's a limit i come close to very rarely in my day-to-day. as with smart tv's, it's frustrating how few good router options there are.
