I presume NSEC Aggressive Use will significantly reduce the amount of crap 
hitting the root servers.

Given how much capacity the root servers already have to provision to deal with 
that crap, I don't think a massive increase in legitimate (NSEC Aggressive 
Use-implementing) resolvers will move the needle significantly.
