That sounds overly complicated, why not have it all on opnsense instead of 3 different devices?

Is your opnsense unstable? Otherwise regarding network availability you are just introducing unnecessary failure points the network.

The point of the opnsense is that I can tinker with it without risking our home wifi. It needs to stay up for my wife, for our mqtt devices/home assistant etc.

I don’t introduce points of failure to our home network which is the critical part. If something in the opnsense misbehaves, it only impacts my lab stuff. The FritzBox + Pihole combination has proven pretty stable over years, even though I’m considering getting a second Pihole device for high availability.

  Ah right, I thought you were doing it like this
  
  Internet -> Fritzbox + Pihole -> Opnsense -> Home Network
  
  It makes sense now :D

    Yeah that would be a bit convoluted :D
