i expect these NS RRs to become visible in any validating full resolver that

Indeed. In our first QNAME minimisation implementation, we used NS queries to follow delegations. This worked 99% of the time (well, almost all, I can't put a number on it). We found that there are middleboxes that clearly dropped NS queries. So instead we used QTYPE A/AAAA in QNAME minimisation to follow delegations. With good results.
