udm-le VS unifios-utilities

I’m already using udm-le installed through SSH to take advantage of Let’s Encrypt and it is configured with Cloudflare (it is the only modification through SSH I did).

I had it working flawlessly with https://github.com/unifi-utilities/unifios-utilities/tree/main/on-boot-script and https://github.com/kchristensen/udm-le

Github repo for the tooling that I am using (not my repo) https://github.com/kchristensen/udm-le

I had been using an LE SSL certificate on my UDM-Pro via UDM-LE. However, this replaced the self signed certificate with the LE certificate, which appears to break the Protect app on mobile devices.

I just purchased the unifi express and I have been researching its capabilities and more specifically ad blocking functionality. I have found that people are complaining about the ad blocking abilities not being very granular and referring to unifios-utilities and running something like pi hole or adguard as an alternative. Can I safely assume that these options will be available to the unifi express?

Install on boot script: https://github.com/unifi-utilities/unifios-utilities/tree/main/on-boot-script
