How big a performance hit would you get if you just run docker, say for example, with pihole and nextcloud on your main gaming computer?

Depends entirely on your system specs and how many resources are dedicated to the VM’s. The VM’s you listed are very lightweight so would not be very noticeable unless you’re on an ancient processor or have an i3.
That being said, Docker is not very reliable on Windows so if that’s your host OS you may run into issues with VM uptime. Downtime of your daily driver will also cause outages of your VM’s. Gaming machines need constant video driver updates and are rebooted more often than dedicated servers, so plan ahead for that.
