> I think having multiple authoritative DNS servers in different networks might help with this.

For the case of the dns-01 challenge type, sure. But if you're using http-01 (or the attacker asks for it), then all those DNS servers will answer back with the same IP address for the A(AAA) query and you're back to the hijacking scenario.

> http-01

Good point, I forgot about that! But then CAA record might help, I guess, if you specify your accounturi?

http-01 seems absolutely unreliable, any hosting provider or any government can issue fake certificates using it. What a garbage technology.
