You don’t need to tie your registrar and DNS hosting together. Any DNS host you pick will give you a set of nameservers which you can point your domain to. Then you can configure whatever zones you need. I haven’t encountered a registrar that doesn’t let you update the nameservers.
AWS Route53, Cloudflare, or DNS Simple will do what you want. If you use Route53 take a look at Heroku’s documentation: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/route-53#naked-root-domain. If you use Cloudflare you can disable content acceleration for just DNS.
