You're now confident that the other 399+ domains you mentioned are not under any sort of duress because they're controlled by people who are away of what's happening?

I feel confident that no system exposed to the internet should have a problem with 50,000 requests per month! If they do, they probably shouldn't run a public NTP server, or have a public IP address at all.
Okay, so you're just confident in exactly how many requests everyone else in the world will be making if you try to pentest resources unbeknownst to their owners.
Are you confident you are not viewing too many pages on HN? What if many other people are also trying to read this thread?
I think this line of reasoning doesn't make any sense. The internet is not an inherently safe network regardless of what we wish for; we can't wish away the bad activity, and it's only going to increase. The activity that helps prevent the bad activity from working is a net positive.
