Don't we already implicitly have that sort of trust at the moment with TLS certs considering that proof of ownership via DNS is quite common? Actually, any domain-based validationi, i.e., also HTTP-01, is going to be flawed if you don't trust the registries.

Kind-of, but not really. Multipath validation exists and you can not trust most (if not all) of DNS during issuance technically. Even if that goes wrong, we have Certificate Transparency to detect misissuance, this doesn't exist with DNSSEC.
