Never tried it myself but I’d be afraid of stuff being randomly broken. Eg at some point pi-hole made YouTube history not work.

That's my experience as well. Also need to intentionally disable it e.g. when using Cashback sites. And you can't easily do that with a single click.
Not to mention it only can do DNS blocking, so you still need an in browser AdBlock for more advanced stuff.
I use Brave and see no reason why would anyone chose differently. Maybe if they use freemium apps on their phones with a ton of ads?
For the cash back sites, I have a separate Firefox profile that uses a public DNS over HTTPS provider to bypass my internal DNS.
That's a good workaround, did not consider it before.
