Maybe we should set the file to be immutable after setting it to 127.0.0.1:

That is the trick currently used by dnssec-triggerd to prevent other applications from messing with that file.
I've been doing that myself for years on installations that think my ethernet-only non-wireless LAN host connections need "managing" by NetworkManager, Resolvconf, Wicked or anything else that came along to automagically mis-configure it.
So you've gone out of your way to run a daemon but prevent it from working as configured, instead of just reconfiguring it to do what you need.
I have Network Manager and it is extremely simple to configure it to keep fixed DNS Servers as well as have static addresses for ethernet interfaces.
I find that today, except extremely rare case, all that people that complain about network management tools interfering are people that never tried or tried once *years* ago and never checked again.
Simo.
