I'd say it extends more than overlap: If a name is not found on the Handshake chain, the resolver "falls back" to legacy ICANN DNS. Since all current gTLDs are reserved as well as the top 100k, there won't be any overlap for a while.

That's great. I didn’t know that all the gTLDs are blacklisted, I thought they only the first 100k. This should make the transition smoother
