However, I guess the question I was asking is, if AXFR of the ROOT zone was done as a matter of course, say on by resolvers, would the increased TCP load be sustainable at the public facing nodes? or would it be better to split the provision into public facing authoritative server and public facing XFR provider?

This split is already being done.  See xfr.{cjr|lax}.dns.icann.org.
