Yes I do understand the issues. But the project requires this to be done.
You said "There are also issues with loading SSLCerts without a full
restart...."

Do you mean there is a way to load SSLCerts without a restart?
Pls let me know.
I will start over.

There are many issues to this problem. Here are the biggest:

1) Dynamic creation of server_recs. There is currently no way to add a server_rec, to the core, and to the listening interfaces, without at least a graceful restart. This is a VERY complicated issue. It would require a major rewrite of many core functions, and the addition of locking, and perhaps even a garbage collection or reference counting system, to handle the deletion of sever_recs.

2) Dynamic loading of SSL Certificates. Easier, but still hard. Will require large modifications to mod_ssl, and documentation that things like ssl passphrase can't work. Will also require large modifications to dynamically load certs from LDAP.

These are both very large and difficult problems. They both might be better addressed in the long run, by a complete rewrite of the configuration system. It would be an interesting exercise, but I have better fish to fry.
