NSEC3 pretty much solves this issue.


It doesn't, at all. NSEC3 is crackable like a 1990s password file, and several tools exist to do it. The "standard" solution to this is "whitelies" (RFC4470), which requires your DNSSEC server to be an online signer so it can generate chaff records; the supposedly upcoming solution is NSEC5, which fixes the broken cryptography in NSEC3.
