As with everything, it depends.
A video stream and general web browsing can easily take a 300ms delay no issue, but voice and gaming will have issues.
Voice is fine for upto 150ms according to the IEEE.
Does the 300ms include dns latency?
DNS is only used initially on first load, after that the connection is made via IP and DNS isn't used.
Yes, but if you hit a company doing DNS based load balancing, DNS is going to return an IP that's near to your DNS server which may not be near your device. That's going to add to the latency.
Yeh but assuming you are in the approximate same geo as you pihole it should be the same now if you deploy your pihole across continents then i would say you should really reconsider your decision.
