The comment I made was explicit that this works for Let's Encrypt, you replied that it doesn't, apparently without checking the logs because if you'd glanced at them it's like 1:1 pre-certificates to actual certificates from Let's Encrypt and I explained that you're wrong.
I'm not disputing that there could be a world where you're correct, but, it's not this world, which is why I even made that comment. That doesn't make relying on the logs for this a brilliant idea, it's just an observation that in fact it could work.
Note that we only do best-effort submission of final certs, so it's not actually guaranteed that they end up being logged.
