Pihole + unbound on the same box as my DNS has been super simple for me. I didnt do a lot of extra configuration for Unbound, I used mostly the guide that was on Pihole official documentation.
As for reverse proxy, I have Caddy setup. And to access my homelab I use wireguard.
Most of my services run on a separate box running docker.
I've woven most of it together bit by bit. I'm slowly upgrading different pieces and its lead me down a rabbit hole. So I found this post intriguing.
Biggest hurdle with Technitium for me is the lack of documentation. I can say the compose file they provided has lots of comments. That doesn't solve for a few pieces for me though. Systemd-resolv uses port 53 on my host box, and I have to find out the ramifications for disabling that and using Technitium. That and I am unsure of what extra capabilities I have to grant that container. And I have to find out how adding it to my reverse proxy docker network.
So its gonna be trial and error I suppose! I'm looking forward to getting DoT or DoH or DoQ setup.
I couldn't agree more about the lack of documentation for Technitium. Thank God it has an interface instead of command line only. Don't know anything DoT or whatever. Guess I'm not using Technitium to it's full potential. That said, I appreciate it being a total package of DNS server and adblocker.
