You can, but don't forget to also block other outbound DNS connections in your firewall. Lots of "smart" devices are hard coded to use 8.8.8.8 regardless of what DHCP says. Pihole won't stop those, so you have to block it at the firewall.

Or redirect them to the PiHole.

And don’t forget to block/redirect secure DNS on port 853.
