Nope, that feature has been "shelved". Please also see the following thread:

Also the only free ACME providing CA that issued certificates for IP address is down. Not sure how/why (it was a rather unknown Chinese CA).

Note that ZeroSSL _does_ provide certificates for IP address, but just not through their ACME API. Only using their webinterface and/or REST API I believe (or that has changed too), but that method is subject to rather harsh limits, unless you pay. But I believe getting just one cert for the IP address using ZeroSSL should be possible.

Tried it a few days ago when I merged RFC 8738 into my Certbot forks ["for own use" branch](https://github.com/osirisinferi/certbot/commits/osirisinferi) filled with some nice features (IMO) not getting in the main Certbot branch it was still not possible using ACME.
