I personally wouldn't try to just query directly via DNS, without registering for DQS access.
It's not just Hetzner IP space, they've been warning against querying via various networks, and via public resolvers, for a while now. Going all the way back to 2021: https://www.spamresource.com/2021/10/be-careful-using-spamhaus-with-open.html And I've seen them specifically mention other providers: Digital Ocean, GoDaddy, Vultr, AWS, OVH and others. They do SAY they want to keep it available for small users: https://www.spamhaus.org/resource-hub/dnsbl/using-our-public-mirrors-check-your-return-codes-now./ But IMHO, DQS usage is safer. And free at the small end.
