actually knot-resolver is already running on your turris omnia
In general, knot-resolver isn’t designed to serve anything authoritatively. There is very limited support for that, e.g. the hints module which you found. Even that one doesn’t serve a real full zone (that wouldn’t be so easy).
Still, one can write basically anything in the configuration, being lua code with access to most resolver internals, so let me post an example that should work well, but there are no guarantees about some “edge cases” or about breakage due to some internal API changes after some months or years. BTW, your question is the same as [SOLVED] How to configure local DNS to route *.abc.xyz to one host?
Resolve all domains in a zone to the same ip
but you can swap knot-resolver for another dns server (full blown knot etc.)
or host your dns server on one of your servers
