Out of the box, pihole has a few block lists already set up. Those are pretty good already.
To add more, you can find some good block list collections online. No need to add them all. Pick a good handful, depending on the category of stuff you want to block. Here are some helpful links:

Also using this on the go through VPN
Which VPN service? I normally use Tailscale with the Pi as an exit node, but I’d like to have simultaneous VPN connection

Same here. Wireguard.
