It seems to me, not an argument against encryption, but an argument
against relying on encryption alone. When facing pervasive monitoring,
there is little chance we'll find _one_ solution that will solve
everything. We need a set of solutions. To address the problem you
mention, the solution is QNAME minimization, described in
draft-bortzmeyer-dnsop-dns-privacy.
