afraid.org does allow almost everyting.
I use their free service to setup my own dns tunnelling endpoint.
Been using afraid.org for well over 10 years and use dynamic dns to have various subdomains pointing to different IP addresses/hosts I have in physically different places. It just works and I login maybe once every 3-4 years.
I'd second afraid.org, have been using them for years and they've always been great. They also support dynamic DNS so if you're on a dynamic IP address you can have the address be updated automatically when your IP address does.
More relevant to the question, I'm pretty sure you can create NS records for a subdomain as well. I was experimenting once a few years back with a DNS tunnel service and was able to get the DNS side of it configured. Never did get the service itself working but it was more of a curiosity at the time so didn't spend a massive amount of time on it.
