Yeah. Nowadays I use pi-hole which is dnsmasq underneath and use it with unbound.

Works great. Minimal fuss, efficient setup, little maintenance, I don't have to understand the guts. Everything on my local network is addressable.

Ad blocking at the router is also something you don't want live without once you've gone there but pi-hole is a great solution even if you don't want that.

I use Pihole as well (even tried to synchronize two for HA but I gave up). It is fantastic.

What worries me with dnsmasq is that it is a personal project maintained on a personal git (by a great person!). Sure, one can fork and whatnot but without several people participating it can fade out pretty quickly.
