Is there a list of major B2B and eCommerce sites using LE for their primary customer facing sites? This would be useful if our customers brought it up.

Are there any plans or water-cooler discussions around supporting wildcard or multi-sub-domain SAN wildcard certs?

W3Techs[1] is generally a good source for this kind of information. Themeforest seems to be using them, for example. (Certificates issued by Let's Encrypt are counted under the IdenTrust root on W3Tech, since that's the CA that cross-signed Let's Encrypt.) Generally speaking, they get used on low-traffic sites (compared to the other major CAs), but that's not really surprising.

I had not seen that site before, thank you! I will keep an eye on the popular sites using IdenTrust.

If you're interested in getting better idea of where LE is being used and under what configurations this may be useful:
