That's ENUM, not DNS SRV, and again, not

No this has nothing to do with ENUM. In general, one cannot absolutely
assume name@domain is reachable at a SIP server running on a host named
'domain'. That's inflexible and is like assuming only host 'domain'
will
accept email for name@domain. There may not even be an actual host named
'domain' or if there is, it may not be running SIP. Ignoring SRV RRs also
means your SIP client/proxy or SBC wouldn't be taking advantage of the
resiliency provided by alternate target servers.
