I mean, if your only requirement is "I need it to work on computers that I've specifically configured to make it work on", you might as well make your "domain" an entry in /etc/hosts. It'd even work more reliably.

For sure there are also other use cases, where just putting entries in /etc/hosts is not enough and it's useful to add one more entry to DNS resolver on machines that should be able to reach specific and probably dynamic destinations.

That's actually a fun exercise to come up with these use cases.
