If they have that information, of course it would be helpful.

I can tell you from the perspective of b.root-servers.net what our load
has been like: it's been growing since 2022 or so (and we haven't really
noticed any issues):

(the horizontal data points is 1 sample day every 3 months since late 2016)

I'll mention again that the current documents state we should have
multiple protocol transfer options available for implementations and
operators to choose from.  This is sort of already case in existing
implementations and we should support those.  IMHO, AXFR should
definitely be one choice.  But a zonefile-over-HTTPS makes sense to me too.
