I am interested in the topic of the redundancy and resilience of the DNS 
system, and are there any specific documents about this topic, such as how to 
achieve that goal?

Question is: Why do you anycast in the first place.
I think for DNS, primary reason is redundancy and resilience, which is
why spreading capacity is the primary goal.
Reducing latency, or better, not increasing latency by introducing
anycast is it's secondary goal.
For other services, goals may be different.
