Comment on My Unifi Dream Machine Pro's ad-blocking was doing more than I expected

Might be worth looking into a PiHole. One of the nice features is white lists. So even if a black list you are subscribed to is blocking something you need, you can still allow it specifically.
And/or run adblockers on each device individually. I actually do both, as the on-device blockers don’t get things like Windows telemetry. (Thank god the only Windows machine on my network anymore is my work laptop.)

I’m not entirely sure how I want to run my ad blocking yet. I left adblocking on for the wifi subnet because I don’t mind it there, and I have ublock origin on my PC. I might use PiHole but my DNS on my network is actually managed by FreeIPA so making sure everything works properly there is paramount. I’m pretty sure I can do that easily but I need to test it to make sure my forward zones work as expected and nothing breaks.
