Sure, but it also applies to normal HTTPS certificates without pinning. How many times did you try to access an HTTPS website and were stopped by the browser, because the certificate was expired and the owner forgot to renew it, or because the certificate was self-signed, even if the site had not been attacked? It happens every day, but it's not a good reason to stop using certificates and validating them properly - it's rather a good reason for the site owner to get a better webmaster. 

Actually, DANE even solves some of these outages, since it will make the certificate valid even if it is not signed by a valid CA, as long as the TLSA record proves that it really comes from the entity controlling the hostname in the DNS.
