That's cool for certain applications but on my home network should I really be super concerned about DNS encryption?
Not within the network, but translating regular dns to DoH before heading out to WAN keeps your browsing a little bit more private from your isp. Marginal, but it is a difference.
It's not just a little bit more private... It's a lot more private. Some ISPs have been known to build advertising profiles using DNS data. It's trivial for them to see all DNS lookups and even modify the responses, since it's both unencrypted and unauthenticated by default.
Probably not, but anyway it's pretty cool to have an option to do this kind of stuff
You can set up this dns on your phone, laptop, without a need of vpn (although vpns are cool, especially tailscale)
But, are you always connected to the vpn? Or even to connect to the vpn itself you probably need dns, why would not use your own
