I wonder if anyone has made it easy to run the Pi Hole software on regular Unix-like systems without containers and without machine specific binaries. Perhaps I'll have to give that a try some time.

What do you mean without machine specific binaries? Like, building it from source? The instructions for that are pretty ambiguous and look like they are only for part of the system (https://docs.pi-hole.net/ftldns/compile/). However, if you just mean running it bare metal then running the installer script mentioned at the top of the Github page will install it using native packages for your system (apt, rpm, etc).

I have done so for four or five years.

Well, with x86_64 binaries -- but I could compile the code myself if I wanted.

No containers, just a Linux (Fedora) VM.

I used to have PiHole running in a docker container, which sounds almost exactly like what you're describing.
