Here i agree.
DKIM cryptographically verifiable bundles at least the original
message and the sender domain.
Potentially this is true for all hops a message passes.
With an iterated DKIM it gets even better, as SMTP envelope data
is included in the verifiability (in at least the direct route of
hops from sender to receiver), and that hardens SMTP as such.

And with the iterated DKIM it gets even better.

(If DKIMACDC would be selected as DKIM2 the d= of RFC 6376 remains
exactly the same.  Like anything else of 6376.  Ie, all the
configurations in use remain intact, and a hop can place multiple
d= to create relations.  Dunno what the other DKIM2 does.)
