No.
Deploying anycast services (outside the RFC-1930 compliant methods
currently in use) lessens the effect of a DoS attack, but at the cost
of risking the integrity of the data provided by the service. Once
the data is adequately protected against that risk, deploying anycast
(or "side-band delivery" or any other funky method of passing the bits
around) is fine.
