In practice it would add a leak, because, for example, Microsoft has
a wildcard cert for *.mail.protection.outlook.com, and each hosted
domain has:

   example.com. IN MX 0 example-com.mail.protection.outlook.com

So while there is just one default certificate serving each of the
millions of hosted domains, the SNI would leak the exact name of
each domain.
