If you are interested in using DNSSEC as a root of trust for secure HTTP, I
recommend looking into DANE (RFC 7671).

For serving a static outage page, SVCB/HTTPS is actually a pretty effective
solution.  You would set up a backup server and add it to the HTTPS RRset
with higher SvcPriority:

example.com AAAA 2001:db8::1234
example.com HTTPS 1 . ;; Default endpoint
example.com HTTPS 2 example-com.last-resort-backup-service.example.  ;;
Backup service

Browsers (at least some today) will try the default endpoint first, but
fall back to the backup service if the primary is unreachable.  If the
backup service only has to serve a static error page, it can be
operationally isolated or outsourced to avoid correlated failures.

(In this example the backup server still has to hold a valid certificate
for "example.com".)
