I disagree generally in the case of server deployments.

Having a local caching resolver is pretty much essential, even though we
all know it's just a workaround for glibc.

no it is not in case of a serious server setup - period

I'm with Jason here.  Glibc's resolver is amazingly buggy, and things
break randomly and unreproducibly when this happens.  A good setup
would have a local resolver and glibc would be configured to cache
nothing whatsoever.  Then, if you need to perform maintenance on the
local DNS cache, you can do it by flushing your local resolver rather
than trying to figure out how you're going to persuade every running
program to tell glibc to flush its cache

i never saw glibc caching any dns response, at least on Fedora, new subdomains are working from the moment they are provisioned even if they are tried a few seconds before

on Apple clients you need to flush the local cache

so with setup a dns cache on each and every machine you fuckup your network because you introduce the same negative TTL caching affecting OSX clients for years now

no, thanks, not for static configured servers and even not for workstations running inside a relieable company network

and for "avoiding a single point of failure (your LAN
nameserver)" - in a proper network it don't fail - never
