Comment (by elypter):

 ehilethis is probably not going to happen anytime soon there is the
 possibility that a censor uses dns to ridirect to their own server which
 then censors the Host header and redirects other traffic to the original
 host.

 then domainless fronting would still be possible but only if the censor
 isnt desperate enough to do a man in the middle attack on connections
 without sni. (assuming this paper is correct
 https://www.bamsoftware.com/papers/fronting/ i didnt really understand why
 the domainless variant cant have a fake sni)

 if the actual service of a website is being used then it would be
 impossible to block it without blocking the site
