I do think the tree walk deserves another look.   Years back when it was brought up, there was lots of talk of overloading resolvers. But as someone who spent the past several years looking at the DNS query data of good sized SaaS domains, DMARC lookups (or even DMARC NXDOMAINs) were on the low end of the spectrum.  Nowadays, all web
properties point to CDNs, et al with 30 second TTLs.

To be entirely obvious:

badactor.a.b.c.d.e.f.g.h.i.j.k.l.m.n.o.p.yougetheidea.example.com

produces a possible denial of service attack.  hence, no tree-walking.
