I have no strong opinion about that but I guess I would say that bind has
set the precedent, so yes.
By the way, bind appears to set up rndc partly because it wants to make
use of it for the "stop" and "reload" actions of the init script.

I don't think that's especially necessary. I've worked at several ISPs
in the past and I've never met a DNS administrator who wanted to manage
DNS without logging in to the server.
