For instance, legitimate mail I received this morning was sent by
mail-ig0-f169.google.com [209.85.213.169] which has only an A record.

Incidentally, I tend to find that these providers tend to be those who
have a pool of outgoing MTA hosts such that a retry attempt for the same
message comes from a different IP.
