That’s fair. Though you should consider that it’s really easy to set up secondary nameservers as a mirror (ns-global, for example, offers such a service). So your own reliability matters less in the end.

On the other hand, Cloudflare is kind of becoming the internet with all the centralization.

Yup. That’s the main reason I avoid using them.

You assume a resolver will actually proceed to the secondary ns and not just give up when the first one is down. There is a lot of badly-behaved software out there.

  They should fix their broken resolvers then, that’s not for me to work around. I don’t think it’s actually a big problem in practice though, because
  
  my primary nameserver is actually fairly reliable, and
  
  it looks like the nameservers in the NS query are in a randomized order (until the response is cached, of course)
