My reading of RFC 5507 "Design Choices When Expanding the DNS"
§6 ( https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5507#section-6 ):

      ... of all the alternate solutions, the "obvious" approach of using
      TXT Resource Records for arbitrary names is almost certainly the
      worst ...

seems to favor "burning" a new RR "just for this purpose".
While RFC 5507 is informational, it does consider the general
problem (new RR vs. TXT) in some detail.
