Then those adversaries that seem able to block any packets from reaching
you, can also block 8.8.8.8 and all known DoT and DoH servers by IP ?
And send you RST packets.

But if the attacks have that much power, they can also just RST all your
TLS connections to webservers and just let let you have your DNS
packets.

I think you need to be a little more exact on the attack you are
describing and what would be a sensible defense.
