Not the guy you asked, but I use Projectivy Launcher. It’s not FOSS, but it does a decent job of putting a suggestions/up next feed on the homescreen and is fairly customizable.
Yeah, this doesn’t seem to provide anything a better launcher + Pi-hole don’t already provide. At least on mobile, the ad blockers help when I’m away from home and not going through the Pi-hole for DNS queries…but my tv doesn’t leave the house much.
An option for you. Setup a WireGuard server on your network and use the WireGuard mobile app to use that VPN connection when not connected to your home WiFi. Then you’re always using the internet through your pihole. That’s how I have mine setup and it works well.
If you’re going through all that work, try an alternate launcher.

I just got this and it is amazing I love that you can create ‘channels’ for your apps
being able to select from my subscriptions via SmartTube, or my media categories in Jellyfin, or whatever I want!
The original homescreen was cluttered with essentially advertisements, this is way cleaner
This is also what I use. I like it quite a bit
For FOSS it’s Flauncher for me. I haven’t tried any others, I like Flauncher because i could put big simple app icons on the screen.
