I think configuring every application, operating system, or platform
to do the filtering is the right way regardless of the existence of
DoH. I wouldn't trust that the opinion given by a DHCP server is what
will be really used by all clients. If you need to check that's what
is really happening, wouldn't it require about the same effort to
configure the parental control features that are already provided by
many vendors. I also believe that's a lot easier thing to do for the
average user.

If you really want a DIY solution, why don't you look into the actual
HTTP(S) traffic and SNIs?
