Weird, I could not get to https://2degrees.nz if I used their DNS servers. Had no problems with other services, just theirs.

I could if I VPN'd into work.
I have a fixed IP4 address at home.

It complained about certificate issues too (could not be validated)

I manually changed the DNS on my Fritzbox adding both IP4/IP6 DNS for CloudFlare DNS and all is working normally , though I think CloudFlare DNS is faster

Looks ok to me. I don't access DNS over an encrypted connection.

nslookup microsoft.com 111.69.69.68
Server: resolver01.2degrees.nz
Address: 111.69.69.68

I’m not having any problems either but will note that since the switch to vocus I’m automatically assigned Slingshot’s DNS addresses rather than 2degrees’ ones, in case that is at all relevant.
