Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Tor Browser needs DoT (DNS over Tor network), i.e. not DNS
 server/proxy/cache on Tor client as it was before, but DNS service,
 provided by the Tor network itself (like consensus, etc).
 DoH (DNS over HTTPS) might be useful for exit nodes (to exclude MiTM in
 exit<->DNS server), but as you mentioned you'd like to move the trust zone
 out of the Tor network (exit nodes), then we'd really have problems with
 trust! Moving it to SPoF like Google/CF/etc is not an option.
 DoO (DNS over Onion) which was mentioned by cpunk above has similar
 drawbacks.
