I just tested Google Public DNS, Cloudflare DNS, and OpenDNS.

None of them return address records for the SRV targets in the additional
section of their responses, even after priming their caches by querying the
targets first.

As for BIND, my resolver instances have been using "minimal-responses yes"
for a while, and they behave the same.

So, there might still be latency issue that could be improved ..
