And it runs Arduino software, that's cool. I've got another project (which I started 4 years ago...) that uses an Arduino but the one I've got is a Duewhateverthefuck so a Teensy would be a massive upgrade, I think I'll get one.
Seeing as I've already got a Pi-Hole going I suppose it makes sense to use that. I didn't actually know the Pi had IO pins...

The one caution with a pi is that anything that needs true real-time processing isn't possible, there's no way to stop the os doing it's thing with it's scheduler. It's mostly probably kinda fine for most home projects though, you can always deal with a little delay.
What was the 4 year ago project? I started uni with all the enthusiasm in the world for projects like this but it wore thin pretty quick when it was the day job too.

The ESP32 is a good alternative to the Teensy, plenty of processing power, runs Arduino code, and has all the peripherals you can dream of. Don’t know if a Teensy has WiFi, although no need for the synth project obvs.
Big benefit of the ESP is that they can be had at about the tenth of the price of a Teensy on AliExpress.
Teensy is Arduino gone nuts, really good microcontrollers but with the ease of use of arduino.
If you're looking at web access, especially externally, I'd guess a Pi might be easier as you have all the networking functionality of the os
