Really only if you're running your own email server. Otherwise as far as I know dynamic DNS fills the need.
You aren't in any more risk either way.
Sounds like maybe you want to look into pfsense to do traffic filtering. Highly recommend.
I messed with pfsense a bit at my old job, but never really thought to use it in my home network - might just give that a shot, thanks!
Because you don't need it. OPNsense and pfSense may make sense in some cases however you're running a small network and you most likely don't require those. OpenWRT will provide you with a much cleaner open-source experience and also allow for all the customization you would like. Another great advantage of OpenWRT you've the ability to install 3rd party stuff in your router, you may even use qemu to virtualize stuff like your Pi-Hole on it or simply run docker containers.
