Bottom line, sign-away, you'll not have any issues, unless your domain

I agree that the DNSSEC problems have close to nothing to do with mail issues.
But it's hard to sign the MX records for a domain without also signing the A
and AAAA records.

Yes, signatures are zone-wide, but while mobile clients behind broken
middleboxes may not be able to take advantage of DNSSEC signatures,
they generally continue to function, with DNS security disabled.  Were
that not the case, ~10 million signed domains would have DNSSEC-related
problems serving web pages (which is not the case).  Top 20 slightly
dated website ranks of DNSSEC signed domains:

    50 mozilla.org
    75 nih.gov
    84 paypal.com
    91 europa.eu
   132 force.com
   181 stanford.edu
   194 quizlet.com
   210 cloudflare.com
   221 nasa.gov
   228 debian.org
