This option sounds acceptable to me - if the MASA is pre-configured to trust a
particular certificate supplied by the customer, then it can be set as trusted
as an authorized RA for that customer. Although doing the "RA check" on the
Registrar cert would be an even more secure solution, thinking about some
possible attacks where an employee could misuse this process to get his/her own
EE certificate approved to 'act as RA'. But it's up to the manufacturer &
customer here to choose the solution that works and provides sufficient
security in their view.

It would be great if such functionality is supported. I do not currently
follow ACME in any way so I hope others have opportunity to bring this idea in.

I agree that there are potential issues here.
1) I think that the MASA may skip that check for recognized registrars, so
that the ACME integration work can work. This would be a local
configuration.
2) It may be that draft-ietf-acme-integrations and/or
draft-friel-acme-subdomains may need to specify a way to ask for cmcRA to
be set within ACME, when using ACME when doing the pre-authorization for
"domain.com"
cf: NOTE: Pre-Authorization of "domain.com" is complete
The ACME spec does support authorizations for domains, and maybe that
would be the best way to do this.
This also supports the concept that the cmcRA bit ought to apply to all RA
operations (CMP and well as EST), as proposed in LAMPS.
I think that we should perhaps plan a design team meeting/BOF around this
discussion.
