[dns-operations] Looping wildcard CNAMEs can be an obstacle for DANE, (googledomains.com-hosted example)

Yes.  If they don't they are badly broken and the solution is to use
one that is not broken.

In practice, I do not ever remember hearing of a resolver that didn't
handle a finite CNAME chain.  This sounds to me like a problem
masquerading as a solution in search of a problem.
