On the topic of radical suggestions, here's another one:
https://github.com/tlswg/draft-ietf-tls-esni/pull/186

In brief, this replaces the variable-length name with a fixed-length
hash, plus some accommodations to allow *.example.com,
*.*.example.com, etc.

My hope is that this design would work in the architecture described
by Watson, while saving ~220 bytes in each ClientHello.

One interesting feature of this design is that it doesn't require each
wildcard domain to publish any unique DNS record.  Instead, all
third-level wildcard customers can share a configuration, all
fourth-level wildcard customers can share a configuration, etc.  This
distinction is not visible in the TLS handshake, so the anonymity set
is not reduced.
