No, the above is what edns-tcp-keepalive specifies. It says:

                 The DNS server MAY omit including the edns-tcp-
   keepalive option if it deems its local resources are too low to
   service more TCP keepalive sessions.

So a correctly written client that follows this spec will interpret the
absence of the option as lack of support for persistent TCP.
