Is vastly overrated most of the time.

Why bother then?

Nothing bad will happen unless you allow the DCs to
get out of contact (e.g., WAN Down) long enough for
the master(s) to scavenge some of the DCs.

Then you will perhaps have DNS problems which will
lead to AD replication problems.

Nothing. Only dynamic records are scavenged.
