Yes, if the SVCB record uses the hostname as the TargetName, as suggested
in section 10.2, then there are no additional queries; they are merely
issued in parallel rather than sequentially.

Regardless of whether the speculative queries are wasted, your question was
whether they would impose more load on TLD or root servers.  If the
domain's NS record is cached at the resolver, then they certainly will
not.  (All queries will go to the authoritative nameserver.)  If QNAME
minimization is applied, they also should not.  (They will all trigger the
same qname-minimized query to the root and TLD, and a reasonably
intelligent resolver shouldn't emit duplicate queries when one is already
in flight.)

If the NS record is not cached, and the resolver does not implement qname
minimization, then perhaps it is possible that the additional queries could
leak to the TLD, or to the root if the TLD NS record is not cached.  The
behavior would be similar to speculative AAAA queries today.  (I'm not
aware of these being a cause for alarm among root or TLD operators.)

Note that this conversation only concerns hypothetical future non-HTTP
protocols that rely exclusively on SVCB.  We are a very long way from any
such protocol (1) existing and (2) having enough usage to concern the root
or TLD operators.
