I think [1] is quite irrelevant to be honest. Blocking DNS isn't a destructive operation. I've been using pi-hole for years and I simply block everything and cherry-pick a few exceptions here and there when something breaks. I only had to really troubleshoot maybe 3-4 times in years, and half of that were related to the fact I worked for companies that had domains blocked.
