This is possible regardless of whether Chrome/Firefox/etc deploy DoH support. In fact, it was possible before DoH at all: nothing mandated that malware use standard DNS requests on port 53.

Except using other ports would cause network monitoring software to throw red flags because of the "strange" traffic on non-standard ports.

Nothing requires malware to pick a “strange” port. It could just shove its data into ICMP, or make it look like an SSH connection on 22, or anything else.
