Major advantage is the latency. TCP needs 3 trips, TLS an additional 4. With dnscrypt you have one request and one response.

Then again, Cloudflare and Quad9 terminate the connection almost instantly after finishing your request. Tested this with DoT though. (stubby with high timeout set)

Are you sure that's not a problem with the client? It seems Cloudflare supports leaving the connection open just fine (at least using the cloudflared client).
