On Alpine 3.24, can sudo be replaced with doas-sudo-shim after Pi-Hole is installed? (piefed.zip)

I'm currently running Alpine 3.24 on a headless mini PC for Pi-Hole, which I've installed using the native install script, and I'm wondering if I can uninstall sudo and replace it with doas-sudo-shim.

Pi-Hole's installer made me install sudo even though I already had doas, and I don't see the point of keeping sudo installed if I don't need it. From what I understand, doas is more secure and has a smaller attack surface.

EDIT: One of Pi-Hole's devs says doing this will break updates and Gravity; which is the name of one of Pi-Hole's main features: https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/issues/6459#issuecomment-5429247641

For starters I'd file a bug against pihole so they support both doas and sudo or drop them altogether and make you use either sudo or doas when executing the script. A hard dependency on sudo is really weird imho.
