Operational people MUST still configure all that stuff on DNS
servers for their domain.

Or, do you want to live without DNS?

FYI, I was living without DNS in IPv4 that I don't want to do so
with addresses four times (or more with multihoming) more lengthy.

Recursive servers, of course, need SBELT information configured,
unless fixed root server addresses are standardized.

But, that's all.

Recursive servers can be preconfigured too, by default, to have
an anycast address to be advertised by some default routing
protocol.
