Yes, that is a commonly seen mistake with anycast.

Considering a failure mode that routes are not withdrawn even
if application dies or routes are withdrawn even if application
is alive, active withdrawal of routes is unnecessary complication
with no improvement of redundancy.

DNS (and other protocol's) redundancy is to have multiple
unicast/anycast name server addresses. Just rely on it.
