Such token would be valid for one use only unless timestamped. And
even if timestamped, it would be limited to 30 days at most.

The token would still change, see above.

Use DNS dynamic updates. There is 20 year old RFC(!) describing one
way of doing that. And then there are many DNS-server specific ways.
And automating DNS-01 requires such API anyway.


If talking about HTTP-01, it does not require server restart/reload
in anything I know of. And TLS-SNI-02 is insane without special server
support (which presumably eliminates restarts/reloads too).
