Over the years pretty much all of them, ktorrent master race though
It's not just a me thing, trackers are still used by the ecosystem exactly because the T in DHT stands for trash
Distributed* hash trash
Makes it sound cooler
What kind of troubles have you had with DHT? I just tested it with a completely new torrent and a magnet link (and yes, no trackers) and my friend downloaded it successfully. Single seeder on the planet (me) found by a single leacher on the planet (my friend).
Anecdotal working tests doesn't make it performant or reliable, that's literally the meme

A torrent without a tracker will often just stall and never start pulling chunks, this is why trackers are still used 20+ years after torrents introduced DHT... to the extent they are used is largely as a backup to trackers which themselves can go down or be overloaded... it's not reliable enough to be the primary source unless the torrent has a large swarm.
If a torrent has a webseed, DHT probably would be adequate, but that's effectively replacing the tracker by having static peers to serve the first chunks directly
I have used bittorrent to share files with friends. Manually created torrent. No trackers. Works. What client are you using?
