Yes my thoughts exactly!  One of the interesting things is that if big
brother saw traffic to this IP address at this port, if they hit it with
a web request they'd get a page.  So it be helpful if you were traveling
in China.  Though packet inspection could easily differentiate between
ssh and ssl, but you can tunnel ssh over ssl, and the docs for sslh
describe how to do that.  But for most purposes, it should work fine
without.

If you need to have more than one name (hostname) on a certificate, the
mechanism is the "subject alternate name" field.  This is supported by
most browsers, most ssl clients, and you can sign such certs using Let's
Encrypt, which supports SAN. Not all registrars let you sign a cert with
SANs.
