That is not consistent with RFC 1035:

        TC      TrunCation - specifies that this message was truncated
                due to length greater than that permitted on the
                transmission channel.

Since https's permitted length is longer than a DNS message,
it is invalid for a DoH server to truncate.

RFC 1035 doesn't allow TC for TCP messages.
