Yes, there is vhost negotiation happening in TLS before session is setup, and the webserver selects the apropriate certificate. The loss of privacy is minimal, since without this system you would be forced to use one IP per TLS host (or disable TLS), and DNS binding those IPs to websites are public.
For the second concern, it can be in principle automated to the point where you only need to inform the webserver of its hostname(s). If the DNS A records are correctly configured, it's trivial for the DNS server to verify the IP address and sign the CRL generated by the webserver on the fly. Like a letsencrypt operated by your DNS provider that simply works.
