Interesting link, thanks! Though I hadn't heard of 'encrypted SNI' before, it appears to be a reasonable idea, if not exactly taking the internet by storm.

In particular, if your web service is being hosted on a non-shared machine, then encrypted SNI buys you no additional security, since the IP address of the service is unique enough to determine the web server's identity.

But still, it's a step in the right direction.
