I've been using adguard's dns to block ads on my phone* because pi-hole isn't an option for me at the moment.
Also set it on a colleague's phone and he's thanked me severally for it.

Google support page explation for private DNS doesn't explain anything. Just recommends leaving it on.
Many DNS servers don't support DoT and some support DoH (DNS over HTTPS) instead.
iOS does support that.
DoT is very easy to self host if you already run something like a pihole (using nginx to proxy a tcpstream + having it wrap a TLS connection around it) and can be exposed to the internet because it can work over TCP (thus reducing the DDoS risk factor significantly).
In Android there's a setting to enable it in the network settings. The default will be "off", if you pick "on" you'll probably be using Google's DNS servers, if you pick "hostname" you can pick a different server.
