Using the DNS protocol does seem traditional here.
Contracted TLDs provided password-protected FTP downloads of compressed master zone files starting at least two decades ago. CZDS is a putatively better replacement for FTP that avoids every TLD having to manage credentials for every client. A few of the TLDs added in the first rounds still use FTP, including .aero and .post. If you want more background, just ask. R's, John

If people want to go that route, the reasonable approach is to make the files available via rsync. There are too many ways to crreate, publish, and apply diffs already.
Or IXFR.
CZDS distributes zones as compressed master files. Changing it to work by AXFR/IXFR would be quite a challenge. Rsync would be hard enough to use the existing credentials.
