I used a PiHole on an actual Pi and I actually bragged about it during a job interview.
However it was difficult to admin and difficult to tweak to my liking.
I've moved to NextDNS and I'm impressed by the featureful features it features. I also enjoy the seamless transitions from my home network to anywhere else while keeping NextDNS resolving correctly.
The only feature I wish it had was an off switch. It is not easy to get its hooks out of each device and I cannot find a way to make it act like a classic resolver... except when I exceed the monthly free account quota, and then it cuts off its special features until next month.
No hate for the PiHole here; it served me well and it really gives lots of kids a nice project and it's totally turnkey protection. Mad props to the PiHole guys and gals for proving this is viable and this is a good thing for privacy and safety.
