In traditional DNS, stub resolvers only talk to a limited set of
upstream resolvers, and they could learn (and cache) information about
their behaviours, in the same way that recursive servers do for
authoritative servers.

You only need to launch one "multi QTYPE" query at a server to learn
whether subsequent queries to that server can take advantage of that
feature.
