Are Proxyservers still worth setting up in 2021?

I got to manage a school network and my predecessor had set up Squid for content filtering and caching. With almost all of the web traffic being HTTPS - is this still worth it?

I mean the content filtering could only be made on the domain level and caching is not really possible either, if my thinking is correct (on HTTPS).

My thought would be to skip on the Proxy and do the filtering via OpenDNS or with custom DNS entries.

Am i missing out on any benefits that would be worth setting up and maintaining squid?
