I agree with the others that have shared the opinion that this is outside
of the scope of ACME and this WG.

In my opinion we shouldn't reinvent the wheel. With RFC 2138 (DynDNS) there

That's exactly right. At least one ACME client (Certbot) has been working
on support for RFC 2136 (https://github.com/certbot/certbot/pull/4701) in
addition to one-off provider specific DNS APIs.

If you need a generic way to update DNS dynamically RFC 2138 is it. If your
DNS provider doesn't support RFC 2136 it seems hard to imagine you could
convince them to adopt a newly invented ACME DNS update scheme.
