"Just use DDNS" is actually harmful advice in many situations, for exactly
the reasons you've raised.  Maintaining versioning and "blame" (who made
what change when) is overly complex when trying to use DDNS-based zone
maintenance.  Not to mention I can put together a fairly decent zone change
management process using version control and zone files with off-the-shelf
software that any small enterprise can make use of ... there just aren't
any good OSS zone editors based on DDNS that I'm aware of, and small
enterprises can't afford to do a ton of in-house software development to
make something purpose built.
