Ok, I've decided to give #Porkbun a try by registering a random domain, and it's amazing.
It even supports glue records - you add your DNS addresses to their DNS configuration, then configure those addresses as the primary DNS servers for your domain, and there you go, you have your custom DNS.
That's literally all I needed, and Bluehost made it impossible - well, their new UI purposefully makes everything related to DNS management impossible, since geeks who register subdomains on domains that they already own aren't as profitable as newbies who buy a new Wordpress blog per week.
Oh, and they also have a free and easy API to also cover the dynamic IP use cases that I previously had to cover with ddclient + dyn.com.
Now I just have to wait a couple of days (and probably go through a lot of marketing upsell BS) for Bluehost to kindly release the domains that it's keeping as hostage, so I can move them to a better place.
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions!
