What can we do without rooting

Use rethinkDNS, basically it'll use your VPN slot and will set a custom DNS of your choice+filter lists. It has more features tho like wireguard integration.

I'd probably think about switching to Graphene OS at that point

Without rooting, you can switch to Firefox, install an add blocker, and use a VPN set to an exit node in Europe or California. Alternately, live in Europe or California.
