I can hand update of A and AAAA records to the machine.
I can hand update of MX records to the mail adminstrator.

No one because it has multiple uses. This is true whether SPF exists or not.
SPF use of RRTYPE TXT for SPF records makes that neither better nor worse.
You could publish:
example.com IN TXT v=spf1 redirect=_spf.example.com
_spf.example. com IN TXT v=spf1 [actual content here]
Then delegate _spf.example.com to the mail administrator. Problem solved.
