Good summary! Not sure about that conclusion. I don't imagine there are roving bands of these specialized DNS network architects to whom you can magically outsource the operations.
The whole thing just strikes me as the continued under-valuing of this kind of maintenance work. It's not glamorous, you often work for a government/non-profit that pays less, on-call is brutal, and the chronic short-staffing is a pain multiplier. Not exactly the best foundation for an entire country's internet infrastructure to sit atop.
