Root, while more efficient, isn't strictly necessary. AdAway (FOSS, F-Droid) can run without root using the stock Android VPN backend.

I use both adaway and AFWall+, as I don't like random apps making random connections, even if it's not for adverts. Once google play store ate my monthly data allowance, and it will never happen to me again.

RethinkDNS is implemented as a VPN service but it has support for local filtering combined with optionally using a WireGuard VPN or multiple chained WireGuard VPNs. You can have both via the VPN service API rather than choosing one or the other. No need for app accessible root access.
