I am not saying that we should not do DNS over TCP. It's in the RFCs.
But there is a cost on doing traffic over TCP compared to UDP and that

not sure if TCPs role will get significantly bigger over time, given
that people who operate large chunks of DNS seem to be very careful
about avoiding it and so far EDNS has done a good job for us.

To what extent does the broadening availability of TCP Fast Open affect
the cost of TCP versus UDP calculus?

Yes, that's similar to what I was going to reply to Ralf, more generally if TCP performance were better for DNS (i.e., it's less of a "cost" to the system) does the inevitable fallback to TCP for real DNS traffic become more palatable for you?

It's fine to say "EDNS will solve this," but 15 years later it hasn't yet. :)
