i use nextdns because it's easy to configure and handles multiple profiles (i use a more locked-down profile than what i enforce on the broad network).
would pi-hole on raspberry pi handle this simple use case? it would never break even ever, because nextdns is cheap and a pi no longer is.
but it would remove one remote point of failure. though i still need vanilla dns resolution, i could have redundant services for it, whereas currently nextdns going out takes me down
