Not OP but a lot of people probably use pi-hole which doesn't support wildcards for some inane reason

That's my case. I send every new subdomain to my nginx IP on pi-hole and then use nginx as a reverse proxy

That was my exact setup as well until I switched to a different router which supported both custom DNS entries and blocklists, thereby making the pi-hole redundant

I run opnsense, so I need to dump pi-hole. But I don't have the energy right now to do that.

Pi-Hole was pretty straightforward at the time and I did not look back since then. Annoying, but easy.

I use a MikroTik Router and while I do love the amount of power it gives me, I very quickly realized that I jumped in at the deep end. Deeper than I can deal with unfortunately.

I did get everything running after a week or so but I absolutely had to fight the router to do so.

Sometimes less is more I guess

It does support it, you just have to add it to dnsmasq. I have it Setup under misc.dnsmasq_lines like so:

address=/proxy.example.com/192.0.0.100
local=/proxy.example.com/

Then I have my proxied service reachable under service.proxy.example.com

I switched to Technitium and I've been pretty happy. Seems very robust, and as a bonus was easy to use it to stop DNS leaks (each upstream has a static route through a different Mullvad VPN, and since they're queried in parallel, a VPN connection can go down without losing any DNS...maybe this is how pihole would have handled it too though).

And of course, wildcards supported no problem.
