I only want it do one thing, gives the locally configured IP address when it has the records. Otherwise go talk to 8.8.8.8.

Any suggestions?

OPNSense ban list is WAY too aggressive.

I believe you can use different lists, however I will say that I no longer use any sort of DNS adblocking because it broke some applications my wife needed for work. I imagine I could fiddle with the block lists and find ones that are less problematic, but I determined that it ultimately causes more problems than it solves for me.
