HSTS is https required and it needs to be a validated cert; issued by a trusted CA and not expired (maybe also not before the not before date). And the usual ignore it and move on button is gone.
Doesn't help if you're worried about a trusted CA issuing a cert for your domain without your approval though. Certificate transparency helps a bit with that; Chrome requires certs issued with a not before after april 30, 2018 to be in CT logs[1], so at least you'll be able to know a certificate was issued for your domain. If that happens, you can ask the CA/Browser forum to investigate and there's a good chance the CA will get kicked out if there's not a good explaination of what happened. That's not perfect but it's better than without CT when you could only know about an unauthorized cert if you managed to see it.
[1] I think max validity was two years back then, so all current certs need logs
