I think you might want to drop this text on performance characteristics, since it seems to imply DNS over UDP has better performance characteristics.
Well DNS over UDP has better performance characteristics than DoT and DoH.
That is not up for discussion. That is a fact. You can get way above
a million of DNS queries using regular DNS on a vanilla box, which is
simply impossible with DoH/DoT no matter how good you tune your test or
box. Latency in lab tests of DNS server usually is measured in microseconds
and not milliseconds.

Simple common sense will tell you that an unencrypted protocol always will
be faster than an encrypted protocol and that a stateless protocol (UDP)
will be faster then a stateful protocol (TCP), because it doesn’t need to
have any code for checking state. QUIC BTW is based on UDP.

At least for DoH, some data seems to show that it vastly outperforms DNS over UDP after the 80th percentile of latency, while being just slightly
slower below the 80th percentile.
All that this shows is network latency to different service providers, and the cache implementation of those (DNS cached answers will always be faster
the non cached). This has nothing to do with protocol performance.

However protocol performance is very important when you have to size/scale
implementations for millions of users.
