Necessary for what? If you want to block ads system-wide, you can use the Private DNS feature. But to fiddle with system partition/install Xposed stuff you definitely need root
What DNS do you recommend?
nextdns, ControlD, Rethink DNS and AdGuard all have free tiers with adblocking capabilities and DoT.
I personally use NextDNS, but there are plenty of great options
Adguard has ad blocking DNS servers. They can be a little slow however. Cloudflare and cleanbrowsing both have anti-malware DNS. Cloudflare being the fastest. There are other options too.
1.1.1.1
No 1.1.1.2 and 1.0.0.2 No reason not to use the secure ones.
