Summary: The DANE domain count is now 4,022,036 (3,988,988 last month)
The number of domains that return DNSSEC-validated replies in response to MX queries is 23,122,328 (23,098,096 last month). Thus DANE TLSA is deployed on ~17.39% of domains with DNSSEC. For more stats, see https://stats.dnssec-tools.org/.

Reminder: If you're relying on trust-anchor (usage DANE-TA(2)) TLSA records matching a Let's Encrypt issuing CA, please note important upcoming changes in Let's Encrypt certificate issuance:

As of today, I count ~4.02 million domains with correct SMTP DANE TLSA records at every primary MX host that accepts connections[1]. As expected, the bulk of the DANE domains are hosted by the DNS/email hosting providers who've enabled DANE support for the customer domains they host. The top 20 MX host providers by domain count are below.

The real numbers are surely larger, because I don't have access to the full zone data for most ccTLDs, especially .br, .cz, .eu, .no, .be, .pl, .de and .uk. Speaking of countries, the IPv4 GeoIP distribution of DANE-enabled MX hosts shows the below top 20 countries (each unique IP address is counted, so multi-homed MX hosts are perhaps somewhat over-represented).

IPv6 is less common than IPv4 for MX hosts, and the top 20 countries by DANE MX host IPv6 GeoIP are:
This month Last month ---------- ---------- 9761 TOTAL 9592 TOTAL 4263 NL, The Netherlands 4210 NL, The Netherlands 2849 DE, Germany 2791 DE, Germany 905 US, United States 888 US, United States 417 FR, France 390 FR, France 210 CZ, Czechia 202 CZ, Czechia 180 GB, United Kingdom 185 GB, United Kingdom 109 FI, Finland 113 FI, Finland 87 CA, Canada 86 CA, Canada 80 CH, Switzerland 80 SE, Sweden 78 SE, Sweden 75 AU, Australia 75 AU, Australia 72 CH, Switzerland 52 AT, Austria 50 AT, Austria 46 SG, Singapore 44 SG, Singapore 36 JP, Japan 39 JP, Japan 32 RO, Romania 31 RU, Russia 30 BR, Brazil 31 NO, Norway 29 RU, Russia 29 RO, Romania 29 NO, Norway 29 BR, Brazil 28 DK, Denmark 26 DK, Denmark 18 LT, Lithuania 16 IE, Ireland
There are 10,719 unique zones (10,449 last month) in which the underlying MX hosts are found. This counts each of the above providers as just one zone, so is a measure of the breadth of adoption in terms of organizations deploying DANE SMTP.
The number of published MX host TLSA RRsets found is 24,636 (21,169 last month). These cover 24,945 distinct MX hosts (21,466 last month, some MX hosts share the same TLSA records through CNAMEs).
The number of DANE domains that at some point were listed in Gmail's email transparency report is 1,199 (1,173 last month, this is my ad-hoc criterion for a domain being a large-enough actively used email domain). Of these, 683 (674 last month) are in recent (last 90 days of) reports (see [2] below my signature).
Of the ~4.02 million DANE domains, 14,204 (14,456 last month) have "partial" TLSA records, that cover only a subset of the (secondary) MX hosts. While this protects traffic to some of the MX hosts, such domains are still vulnerable to the usual active attacks via the remaining MX hosts.
The number of domains with incorrect TLSA records or failure to offer STARTTLS (even though TLSA records are published) stands today at 2,424 (1,862 last month). Some of these have additional MX hosts that don't have broken TLSA records, so mail can still arrive via the remaining MX hosts. The affected domain counts for the top 10 problem MX hosts are:
550 mx2.xcellerate.nl 172 mx2.tkservers.com 123 mx2.dotxs.net 106 mx.xobit.nl 35 mx1.mdbraber.com 26 mail.orionpanel.nl 23 semark.dk 22 smtp2.kruik-it.nl 15 mail.nationaalarchief.nl 15 artemis.strebsjig.net
To avoid email outages, please make sure to monitor the validity of your own TLSA records, and implement a reliable key rotation procedure. See:

After eliminating parked domains that do not accept email, the number of "real" email domains with bad DNSSEC support stands at 697 (838 last month). The top 10 name server operators with problem domains are:
This Month Last month ---------- ---------- 490 neostrada.nl 528 neostrada.nl 58 worldnic.com 60 worldnic.com 21 openprovider.nl 22 openprovider.nl 21 active24.cz 21 active24.cz 14 sectigoweb.com 14 sectigoweb.com 13 register.com 13 register.com 7 dnssrv.nl 7 vultr.com 6 vultr.com 7 dnssrv.nl 6 ispapi.net 6 resolver.domains 6 forpsi.net 6 ispapi.net
If anyone has good contacts at some of these providers, please encourage them to remediate not only the broken domains (I can send them a list), but also the root cause that makes the breakage possible.
Just one of the domains whose nameservers have broken denial of existence appears in the last 120 days of Google transparency reports:

Coverage of DNSSEC domains continues to improve with ongoing data support from Chris Mikkelson from domaintools.com. Credits also due to ICANN providing gTLD data via CZDS, and to the ccTLD registries for .CH, .DK, .FI, .FR, .IS, .LI, .NL, .NU and .SE. More data sources of ccTLD signed delegations welcome.
[1] Some domains deliberately include MX hosts that are always down, presumably as a hurdle to botnet SMTP code that gives up where real MTAs might persist. I am not a fan of this type of defence (it can also impose undue latency on legitimate email). However, provided the dead hosts still have TLSA records, (which don't need to match anything, just need to exist and be well-formed) there's no loss of security.
