Letsencrypt supposedly has deployed a system that makes the connections from different locations around the world to make this attack more difficult and also you can’t get a letsencrypt certificate for gmail.com or microsoft.com (or Gmail.* or microsoft.* for that matter), there’s a block list for high value targets.

I would hope letsencrypt has a number of heuristic safeguards, but I can guarantee they do not make connections from multiple routing paths: My ad server registers a certificate during the SNI hello (but before the certificate is presented), and I get a certificate after a single ping.
