Hi
mDNS manages only the .local domain (or its replacement if you configure
mDNS differently), nothing else. mDNS is called via a special IP address
in 224.0.0.xxx and therefore cannot face out the original DNS.

I have a proper DNS server but if I just try to ping an FQDN it tries
mDNS UDP 5353 which fails.
OTOH I just installed my printer and I'm guessing mDNS helped with
that so maybe mDNS is something I need?
I have no experience with mDNS but I am assuming that I will need to
just disable it to get DNS to work correctly.

My understanding is mDNS is meant to be used when there is no local name
server. If you have a DNS server it would probably be best to disable
mDNS so you're not adding unneeded complexity. I dont know specifically
how it's meant to fail over to DNS if mDNS fails to resolve a name. I
imagine the host you're trying to reach would just ignore the mDNS
packet, causing a failure, then your computer should reach out to the
DNS server that is configured on the device. It is supposed to be able
to coexist with traditional DNS but that defeats the purpose of mDNS to
be honest.
