I am having a bit of a hard time seeing the point of WebPKI IP certificates
because most of the devices I deploy are on private networks and private
addresses. If I have an address on the public network, it will almost
certainly have at least one DNS name.

The only case where I would be using an IP address in a cert are cases
where I can't get DNS binding for some reason, for example the backhaul
from my reverse proxy to the Web sites. And I really can't see myself
having rDNS in those cases let alone being able to respond to a DNS
challenge. I am having real problems understanding what CAA would be doing
either.
