That would be a disaster.
Without active queue management, a single bulk upload can break DNS. When the bottleneck link (usually your cable/DSL modem) is saturated by the bulk upload, it will start dropping new packets that come in while the queue is full.
When a single packet worth of space frees up, the chances are that the bulk flow will instantly take it, such that nearly all outbound DNS packets get dropped, and DNS queries time out.
The solution is active queue management (CODEL is a good choice) at every bottleneck.
