I wouldn't go that far. I've been running with Unbound for ~1.5 years now (AFAIK) without issue. I've also been told that the code is of significantly higher quality and that it's considerably more secure.
Nothing wrong with 'unbound'. Problem is bug in Tor daemon interaction with 'unbound' that brings exit effectively offline when GoDaddy blocks requests from it. This can happen to any fast exit anytime. GoDaddy has been blocking high-volume DNS requesters since 2011, and recent activity by some Tor user enumerating GoDaddy domains triggers the failure.
