Also, if you own a very big amount of subdomains (say > 100), you want to minimize the number of certificates you want to manage/renew for easier maintenance and renewal.

I don't agree on this one. The whole point of the ACME protocol is that it allows for automated certificate management. Thus, it shouldn't matter if you manage 1 of 10000 subdomains, because you should automate it anyway.

Also, if for some reason the automated process fails, I'd rather have one subdomain go down, than all of them.
