Can you run both a private dns and a vpn-based ad blocker on non-rooted >Android at the same time?

This is not possible, the moment you switch on the vpn you use the dns
set up with the computer the vpn is running on, so you have no choice in
dns when using a vpn.

I thought so too but I use a VPN (Freedome) and with private DNS set to
an ad blocking one, I still get ads removed from apps. And Freedome
doesn't filter ads, although they claim to filter trackers but it's a
little hard to verify that.
So a VPN based ad blocker and private DNS might well work together.
They seem to restrict their VPN to using only their app, which is rare.
Starting with Android 9 you can also use your custom DNS, so using dns.adguard.com could be an option, I use it on my mobile phone when I
am not connected to my home wifi and it works quite well.

Why not use it at home as well? Isn't it a little tedious to toggle this
off and on all the time?

There is nothing to toggle, you set the DNS for Wifi separately from the
DNS of the mobile network. And at home I use AdGuard on a Raspberry Pi
as my DNS because it is configurable and there are a couple of
additional things that I want to block, namely all products related with Facebook, TikTok and a few others.
