All the apps listed do get past most rudimentary SNI-based blocks, except GoodbyeDPI which is pretty sophisticated. One still needs DoH because (unencrypted) DNS is the weakest link.

Simple SNI-based blocking implementation may not consider complex data like fragmented packet, so some solutions work.
