Author here. We do actually offer all of these options.
We offer a public IP address for A records pointing to a our main load balancer. This will send all traffic to a single origin instead of serving your HTML pages out of our global CDN.
We also offer DNS hosting for pro plans and up. When you move your DNS to Netlify, the caveat about naked domains doesn't apply (as mentioned in the first paragraph), since we hook the domain record straight into our global traffic director.
For enterprise customers we also offer an anycasted IP address that lets you use our CDN with a normal A record, but we still recommend either using our DNS hosting or a www domain since the DNS based traffic direction is faster at responding to localized issues and offers more precise traffic distribution.
