I don't see the need, everything gets IDed by its hostname.
The only thing with static DHCP is IoT stuff that needs a consistent IP for HA to connect to it, and servers.
It can be useful to assign a static IP address for your kids' devices so you can set parental control on pihole/adguard.
Pi-hole can seperate devices by MAC, so it's not really needed to group them.
Wouldn't that require you to use pihole as DHCP though? Afaik DNS packets doesn't contain Mac address, right?
I think it will just identify the device by MAC and use whatever IP that MAC has assigned to block queries. I just noticed the other day that i can select devices by MAC and assign to groups, and my pihole isn't the DHCP.
