DNSSEC is already a pretty complex landscape. Algorithm rolls are complex,
we don't have a lot of experience signing with multiple algorithms. 

Adding extra restrictions to all use of a new algorithm brings us in
unchartered teritory. Operational problems with DNSSEC tend to show up long
after the IETF finished writing a specification. 

There is also a bit of misuse of the term 'downgrade protection'. A 
preference of ML-DSA-44 over ED25519 suggests that ML-DSA-44 is strictly
more secure than ED25519. Which is, as far as I know, today just not the
case.

If we go one step further and also throw hybrid into the mix, then
without signalling the situation becomes a lot more complex.
