Using both is the preferred option. Support in OS/Browsers for prefers-color-scheme will only increase. Which means if you implement now, you will support more users in the future, rather than doing it later.
Secondly, in initial hit of your site, you can set their preferred theme according to their preferred color schema (dark mode on first hit). If you only rely on a toggle, you force users to use the light mode regardless of their preferred setting.
Admittedly, I should have worded this better, as that is what I do. Check for a LocalStorage preference that I set when the user toggles dark mode, and check the schema if the key isn't set.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
You can always fallback to light theme in case this feature is not supported.
Of course. Better yet, do use a toggle, and don't rely on something unreliable :)

Correct, combining both is the best idea.
