From my understanding of RODC's, yes and no 😁
A RODC hosts a read-only copy of the DNS records, so it cannot update
dns records, these should be done on a RWDC and replicated back, so the
error message is correct. In my opinion, that is a bug, it shouldn't be
run against a RODC and the tombstone deletions should be done by
replication from a RWDC, something that doesn't seem to be happening in
your case.
can you please open a bug report about this.
