You are correct. I haven't dug into the code to verify but it
appears that 3.4.x sa-update does use the DNS TXT record to know when
to download so it doesn't hurt anything to run this version hourly.
By the sound of it this warning doesn't apply at all to anyone with a
normal up to date installation.
It mostly shouldn't, but when I was supporting a mail server that
included a SpamAssassin integration, we ran into a non-zero number of
installations where DNS checks failed and they fell back on direct
connections.
The default update frequency was sane, but nothing stopped a user from
implementing their own schedules.
