SNI is cleartext enough to be passively logged, so you never know. Maybe some government-mandated (or supplied) switch is logging them to some short-lived log file in case they ever need to pull your hostname history.

Note that SNI sniffing protection is in the works by encrypting the client hello[0]. While it's been in draft for some years now, Chrome has a lot of work being put into it[1], so hopefully it'll be done sometime next year with support within Cloudflare and browsers soon after.
