I propose that RFC 8555 ยง7.5.1 be revised to say, "The server is said to "finalize" 
the authorization when it has successfully completed one of the challenges or failed all of 
them."

I join my voice to Matt's, but I have slightly different proposal:
There is Sender Policy Framework (SPF) which works just fine as it for emails, a similar mechanism is my proposal, where DNS TXT record will declare and establish an ACME policy, what acme challenges should be the minimum acceptable by the ACME service to authorize, also it will define the maximum needed to authorize.

Like the ability to declare what challenges is supported by the client (as a list or an array), and what is the minimum challenges must be passed, here for this minimum passed a simple number may be like 2, means two of the three supported challenges must be passed, also it can have a challenge(s) as a must, server must be guided by this rule as long that policy exist at the time of validation, and in absence of such policy it will act as currently does.
