DNS settings for Orbi clients
I am using a Pi-Hole inside my network and my previous networks (Eero, and Google Wifi before that) let me set DNS servers for my internal clients separate from the DNS servers for the WAN interface....

This is not a problem. Point the Orbi at the Pi-Hole for DNS. Every Orbi client will resolve DNS through the Orbi, and the Orbi will resolve DNS through the Pi-Hole. This is on the Orbi web interface, Internet menu item. Rather than checking "Get DNS from ISP", check the box, "Use these DNS Servers" and put in the IP of the Pi-Hole.
