For starters I'd file a bug against pihole so they support both doas and sudo or drop them altogether and make you use either sudo or doas when executing the script. A hard dependency on sudo is really weird imho.

I have had a desktop and a laptop on a basic compatibility script, that only implements sudo <command>, for a long time, and not had any issues.
And I installed and compiled a bunch of random stuff.
I would be very surprised if there were issues.
I recommend you set up some log file to log calls to sudo, so you can judge how much that layer is even needed.
Try it, find out
I've considered trying that to see what happens.
