You're missing a crucial point -- a highly distributed database like
DNS will suffer from the 3-way handshake, stop-and-wait part of TCP,
in addition to the vast amount of overhead for a few bytes of payload.

As I said, T/TCP might be interesting for this purpose, but it has
been deprecated for very good reasons.
