I want to set up pi-hole on a raspberry pi device of some sort and I'm having a hard time figuring out where to start with the hardware. I'm running skynet and diversion on Merlin right now for myself, but I want to put together a cheap plug and play box for non-technical family members, aside from repointing the router dns which I will do for them.
I think all I need would be the board (pi5 4gb?), power supply, case plus an sd card? Am I missing something?

A Pi5 is overkill. If it's just for Pi-Hole, get a Pi Zero 2 w. It'll do the job perfectly.

Cheaper is good. No issues with it being wireless? Or do you add a wired Ethernet adapter for this use case?

Nope, no issues with it being wireless whatsoever.

Perfect. Ordered my parts, odds are I'm going to end up building a dozen of these. Thanks!

It's easy as piss, but good luck nonetheless.

You are missing nothing. That is all you need, give it a try. I used to run it on a Pi3 with no problems.
