If you are not using gmail and google search, and are using adblockers, Google shouldn’t really have any information on your IP, so it is anonymised data. Your ISP knows even your bank details.

But the limits of using google DNS (or even encrypted DNS) is that most commercial websites aren’t sharing IP addresses, so I bet the ISP can pretty much reconstruct the data it would get from DNS with very little effort just by looking at your IP traffic and mapping IP addresses to domains from other users DNS queries.

And they can use that if they know your identity, like if you provided them a phone number.

But I don't believe they can't do much from an IP alone. Unless the ISP starts ratting us out.

Theoretically, yes. For that to work, you also need everything on your network to never have encountered a google cookie, adwords, Android, Chrome, YouTube, Maps, Google DNS servers, any of various "smart" devices, etc. And hope those Google Global Cache servers living at your ISP are trustworthy.
