 From my personal experience the most common use of master only NS 
systems is for complex view based setups that need to avoid the xfr 
problems of views to slaves.

Of course there are security issues. These are usually dealt with by 
having at least one (hopefully pristine) hidden master.

Google for unxsBind (Bind9+ multi name server set and multiple end user 
DNS manager), it does use local per master rndc commands but not rsync, 
instead it uses a different SQL based job queue mechanism for 
replication of master data that scales very well.
