As it seems bind turns off qname minimization for queries to SH. As I can find something like this in the query log:

named[4205]: success resolving '49.236.215.178.6XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.zen.dq.spamhaus.net/A' after disabling qname minimization due to 'ncache nxdomain

So, I'd say it's not necessary to turn it off generally, am I right?

can you explain why it's better to turn off QNAME minimization MTAs and spam checkers?

from earlier post here,

this addresses the use of a local caching resolver

https://docs.spamhaus.com/datasets/docs/source/40-real-world-usage/Dns/000-intro.html

and, also from SH

and, analysis/commentary from ISC,

    QNAME Minimization and Spamhaus
    Updated on 21 Mar 2024
     https://kb.isc.org/docs/qname-minimization-and-spamhaus

which states, in some contradiction of remedy,

    "Spamhaus's initial recommendation was to disable QNAME minimization altogether, but ISC disagrees: the correct solution is for Spamhaus to fix its broken servers. QNAME minimization is an important privacy protection that is enabled by default in BIND and in most standards-based DNS implementations today."
