Obviously, people whose products rely on those ads and telemetry, won't be happy and will try to retaliate, for example, by refusing you service. This frequently happens because of my usage of VPNs and ublock. In that case I have an option to quickly turn vpn/ublock off for that specific web site or service. In your case it's not so easy.

Encrypted DNS looks like any other encrypted stream, there's no reason for subversive apps to rely on DHCP provided DNS servers when they can be guaranteed to serve ads without them.
