I agree. If you can’t secure the DNS with DNSSEC + TLSA at this point in time, 
and need to fall back to unauthenticated encryption for DNS, you might as well 
give up entirely. Especially since a MITM is very simple to do as attackers 
know the IPS of the authoritative servers. 

DNS is a PKI. Unauthenticated encryption for DNS at this point in our DNSSEC 
deployment makes no more sense.

As I have stated previously, I am not in favour of adoption for this document.
