DNSSEC designers screwed up by making rollovers to be atomic. Instead, they should have allowed the responses to be signed by two keys. And a way to specify as a hint which key should be used, so that the zone owner could gather feedback on the rollover safety.

No, DNSSEC does allow for multiple signatures. You can use tools like dnsviz.net to see which key is valid from upstream (if you don’t know how to do it manually).
You can and should sign by multiple keys before/during a rollover. That's exactly how it's supposed to work. The client is to check all, and any valid chain.
