I have a less radical proposal:

"DoH servers SHOULD return a Cache-Control header (RFC 7234, section
5.2.2). They MAY send "Cache-control: no-cache" in all cases [if
they're lazy]. For positive
answers (ANCOUNT>0), if the DoH server returns "Cache-control:
max-age=N", the maximum age MUST be the TTL of the answer seen by the
Doh server. For negative answers (NXDOMAIN), if the DoH server returns "Cache-control:
max-age=N", the maximum age MUST be calculated from the SOA record of
the zone (RFC 2308, section 3) [note it allows a server to return
"Cache-control: no-cache" only for NXDOMAIN]"
