I use NextDNS and it’s good for my devices, but Google sponsored links won’t work with it. Sometimes I have to turn it off temporarily to get something done.
Also, my wife works from home in social media. I can’t really block ads network-wide because she needs to see them.
What I ended up doing - I set her laptop with a static IP and added TCP and UDP routes for port 53 (the one used for DNS queries) to 8.8.8.8 - no complaints since ;)
I use a cheap Mikrotik router between my ISP one and the actual network (well, a NAS and a Unifi AP, the rest is wireless) so doing it was easy ;)
PiHole allows temporarily disabling, including a time (e.g "disable for 30 seconds/2 minutes/1 hour) and setting different filters for different users ;)
I wish I could pi-hole.

You can setup separate vlans, or even separate networks for allowing the ads if you need.
You can - my wife works with ads as well.

Both of your wives are plants by the marketing firm to make sure your attempts to remove all ads are stymied. You’ll have to kill her. I’m sorry.
NextDNS keeps working when you leave your wifi network (without having to set up VPNs or DDNS). That’s what I like about it.
Working should really happen on a separate network though, business has no business being conducted on a private one.
For my pihole, I have a group set up that the blocklists don’t apply to, so devices I add to that group aren’t subject to filtering.
