My country plays wack a mole with their domains. I mostly rely on 2 private trackers now

If you're not using a VPN to visit PB.org from a non- problematic country, are you even trying?

My torrent program and prowlarr use a VPN. I don't bother using it for normal browsing.

Wouldn't this be solved by using a DNS server your country as no control over?

But anyway PirateBay is not recommended anymore.

I use Firefox private DNS and still it doesn't work for some reason.

Depends on how the country is doing it. If they are just flat out dropping traffic to the routes, changing DNS won't save you.

They would need to do DPI and drop the packet using its SNI. Websites, especially pirates ones, really need to implement ECH, this would prevent this.
