That makes no sense.
Say I have freshly installed my fedora system at home. I then boot it up
and start to use it. My laptop is caching DNS results all the while from
the "unreliable" ISP.

Having a DNS cache doesn't fix your unreliable ISP: You need to lodge a
complaint with your ISP.
No, but using a caching iterative resolver does. (Barring the ISP rewriting
your traffic.)
