DNSSEC doesn't provide privacy. It was never designed to. If you want privacy, use ODoH.
What it does offer, is tamper detection. I don't trust Cloudflare enough to always provide me with the right DNS data even if resolving the domain happens over TLS, and that's the part of the chain DNSSEC covers. DNS servers don't use DoH to resolve records, so the MitM risk remains.
In my experience, the practical risks of enabling DNSSEC are minimal. Some broken (often Big Tech) DNS providers have had issues in the past (Amazon, notably) but every major DNS provider I've used has never let me down, and that includes some of the cheapest domain servers on the market.
You may be as wary if you want to be, but .nl proves that the risks of DNSSEC are quite minimal in practice if the TLD registrar is competent.
