Thank you for sharing this!

A few suggestions:

Not necessarily so.
First, one can (may?) use BGP communities to limit the route
announcement propagation, thus making the distribution between sites
more even.
Second, Flowspec/DOTS/selective BH/et cetera.

Shouldn't we wait before the faith of draft-ietf-dnsop-serve-stale is
determined? The outcome of this one may be then heavily influenced.

Anyway, it's not quite clear what this section suggests. Should I set
the TTL to 10s? What are the consequences of that? How's that related
to my threat model?

(yes, out of order)

Well, *one* (and there may be more) of the reasons to maintain
authoritative servers with uneven latency distribution may be to have
a) some fast servers you can afford to get brought down by a DDoS
attack, b) a "lightning rod" — a purposefully degraded absorber,
mentioned in (5).

There's a reason for that that you may want to mention, namely, smoothed RTT.
