Today, all root name servers are not recursive. It seems good
practice, even if I'm not sure it's formally written somewhere (I do
not find it in RFC 7720).

I would say yes, since it is supposed to be sent to authoritative

If a name server is deprecated and replaced by a resolver, not

be trusted.
