Relatedly, does anyone know if Big Sur allows one to use a custom DNS server on the device level with those privileged destinations? (He says, mulling the complexities of getting a pi-hole working with his mesh system.)

I went from blocking about 45% of my entire network's traffic at the DNS level two years ago, to only blocking 10% of the traffic today.
If they use public DoH servers you could just block those at the network level. Andv if they're running their own DoH service on a fixed IP, they could simply run the app itself over that IP and avoid the whole DNS lookup altogether.
I don't know, I haven't dug deep enough to find the answer for myself.
However, after blocking Google's DNS servers on my network and designating my own DNS servers via DHCP, my Chromecast ceased to function, and certain Android apps that serve ads had functionality that ceased to work correctly. That leads me to believe that apps and systems with DoH baked in are actively hostile to mitigations against their DoH implementations.
