It would be most useful not to conflate TLS 1.3 and ESNI.

In ordinary TLS 1.3, the SNI is in the clear but the server cert is not.
However, importantly, even in TLS 1.2, the server certificate is not
verifiable, and therefore is not significantly more trustworthy than SNI.

With ESNI, the SNI is encrypted (hence the name). However, the xpectation
is that enterprises which want to do conditional inspection will disable
ESNI on the client. This should not be problematic as they already need
access to the client to install their own trust anchor.
