I wouldn't - it means that I am reliant on a blockchain transaction clearing, and as the chain gets bigger, that time has potential to increase. etherium was really quick and cheap when it launched, and it is not now ...

The slowing transaction incorporation times for major cryptocurrencies is related to transaction volume, not to the total size of the chain to date. Presumably a system restricted to updated HNS entries would not encounter anywhere near the same transaction volume.
