Should I use a DNS redirect firewall rule on port 53 to force use of my upstream DNS servers?

I'm still learning so I need some clarification. I have DNS resolver enabled on my pfSense in forwarding mode (upstream servers 9.9.9.9 and 149.112.112.112 ). I also have "Use SSL/TLS for outgoing DNS Queries to Forwarding Servers".

At this point should I redirect client dns requests so that all my local client devices that might query on port 53 are forced to reroute back to my localhost (127.0.0.1) which then forwards the query via TLS through port 853 to quad9 as my upstream server?
