Came across an older blog post that mentions DNSSEC is pointless when TLS is set up correctly.
I know when I've configured my DNS for Cloudflare, it constantly throws errors about DNSSEC not configured or supported by upstream DNS servers.

So my question is, assuming I'm using TLS correctly, do I (we) really need DNSSEC at all?

Here's the link in case you'd like to read it:

They serve different purposes. DNSSEC helps secure the DNS data itself with signatures ensuring its authenticity. DOT functions to keep intermediaries from snooping on your DNS queries to the DNS servers.
