adding DNSSEC validation isn't hard (a few options), but as others has commented one have to be a bit aware that dnssec validation might then fail from time to time. Validating other peoples security setup mean occasionally that people mess up and validation fails. I have been running with validation on 10-20 years, and maybe once a year I notice a service that is down because failing validation. It is a bit like expired certificates on https back in the days before most sites started to use automation for renewing.
Adding DNSSEC to a domain name is more work. You need a registrar that support it, and then depending on what DNS server program you are running you might need to install a signer, a key storage, monitoring and scripts that talks between the different parts of the chain. I have heard that the latest version of bind might now ship with all the required parts built in, but I have yet to test it. It a bit far yet from simply uncommenting an option, and the protocols for talking with registrars is being actively discussed and worked on during technical conferences.
