Lockdown mode on iOS for high security will prohibit the use of provisioning profiles.

Configuration profiles, not provisioning profiles. That just means you install them before locking it down.

Also, the supervision requirement for always on VPN is a stronger limitation than lockdown mode; you have to erase the phone to supervise it.

Ahh thanks for the clarification, I didn't know there was a difference.

Configuration profiles are however how you force DoH or disable certain privacy leaks from phoning home to Apple. There are no UI settings for some of the important ones.
