DNSSEC is not mandatory, it is recommended.

One motivation behind DELEG is the ability to use “Aliasmode” to point to an 
SVCB record elsewhere, which contains a DS record. This way, DS records in 
various top level domains can be federated under a single operator. This works 
solely if both the DELEG is signed and “elsewhere” is signed.

I don't understand what you are saying here. Can you elaborate and maybe
include an example?

nohats.ca.      86400  IN NS    ns2.foobar.fi.
nohats.ca.      86400  IN DELEG 0 _conf.ns2.foobar.fi.
nohats.ca.      86400  IN RRSIG DELEG ...

_conf.ns2.foobar.fi.     3600  IN SVCB  . ( alpn=doq ipv4hint=192.0.2.54
                                            dnskey="257 3 13 BdaQBzPJKqw5U..." )
_conf.ns2.foobar.fi.     3600  IN RRSIG SVCB ...

The _conf.ns2.foobar.fi. ALPN and DNSKEY configuration can be reused by other 
delegations as well, and the operator of ns2.foobar.fi can change it as it sees 
fit without requiring the delegations to be updated.

(Hope this is what you meant.)

The whole DELEG thing can also be done without DNSSEC, but then you can't 
establish the chain of trust like that. (And you don't need DNSSEC when the 
child is insecure, so it's not a problem.)
