Unbound cannot run becuase the socket is being used by a different process. From the pihole you can run sudo lsof -iUDP:5335 to see whats on that port.

sudo netstat -tulpen | grep :5335
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5335 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 0 31937 3379/unbound

Your output shows unbound listening on TCP but nothing for UDP. When I run the same command it shows both.

What does systemctl status unbound show?
