Yes, I think 487 seems to be a logical choice here; it's very close to
what 487 is normatively used for.

> Now, I realize that we also need a setting to indicate whether Asterisk is authorative for a domain or not. If we're the only owners of a domain, we should generate 6xx class errors, if not, 4xx error. So this also applies to 486/600 busy 488/606 and 404/604. If we start separating 4xx and 6xx replies, we might as well do it right. So the domain configuration needs an option per domain whether we're just part of a cluster handling a domain or if we're THE domain handler.

That would be a good idea, yes.
