Using Adguard Home and DNSMasq, Any point to Unbound DNS?

I have Adguard Home set up to receive DNS on 53 from all internal networks and DNSMasq listening on 53053.
For forwarders in Adguard Home I have
[/internal/]127.0.0.1:53053
[//]127.0.0.1:53053
h3://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query
https://dns.google/dns-query

So internal queries are forwarded the DNSMasq since it assigns DHCP and registers those hosts in its DNS.
And for Private reverse DNS in Adguard I have
127.0.0.1:53053

So config guides I see have Unbound DNS in the mix between Adguard Home and DNSMasq.
Is there any real need for Unbound since Adguard Home does DNS/DOH and can forward internal requests to DNSMasq?

Am I missing something?

I'm using this configuration (AdGuard Home on port 53) and dnsmasq also on port 53053, after previously abandoning a combination of ISC DHCP, Unbound, and AdGuard.

DNS resolution works perfectly. However, I'm experiencing significant problems with DHCP. After a complete system reboot (without any old leases), everything works as expected. After some time, presumably after the lease expires, the DHCP devices lose their connection and cannot reconnect. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to determine the cause of this behavior.

I've tried all available options in dnsmasq, but haven't found a stable solution yet. If you find a stable configuration, it would be great if you could share it here, especially the setting under "Services: Dnsmasq DNS & DHCP: General". My current settings are attached.
