I read a bit about using a different DNS for Privacy and I think the best one should be quad9? Or is there anything better except self hosting a DNS?

Sure, but we were talking about using Unbound, or some other recursive resolver, locally. Unbound doesn’t use DoH or DoT for its queries, and most/all authoritative servers don’t offer DoT/DoH.
You would have to use some local stub resolver, route its traffic over a VPN, and then use public resolver(s) that provide DoH/DoT (and those still use plaintext DNS to do their resolution, the benefit you get there is the shared cache and semi-anonymization due to aggregation). Whether that is good enough is up to you.
Why do you think that? This config value should set DoT: https://github.com/NLnetLabs/unbound/blob/master/doc/example.conf.in#L903
Because most authoritative servers don’t offer DoT. Pretty sure “upstream” just refers to when your unbound is querying another recursive resolver…
