The Common Name is not included for certificates issued using the `tlsserver` or `shortlived` profiles. Your cert has a 90-day life so I'd guess you used tlsserver.

The tlsserver profile also now uses the new "Y generation" hierarchy which your latest cert has. See: [Upcoming Changes to Let’s Encrypt Certificates](https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/upcoming-changes-to-let-s-encrypt-certificates/243873)

Did you knowingly request the profile tlsserver? See: [Profiles - Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/docs/profiles/#tlsserver)
