Really, DNS wildcards are almost completely useless.
And, ironically, the only reason not to have to SPF record at the "_spf"

Actually, the decision to move the records out of the _spf subdomain
was because too many DNS hosting companies did not support the
underscore. Underscores are, after all, invalid for host names but
not domain names. The subtle distinction between the too is lost on
??? I thought it was the other way around - that only A-Z,0-9 and '-' were valid
for DOMAINS (or haven't I had enough caffiene?) but other chars could be
used for hosts.
too many people, even those that know quite a bit about DNS.
