Then you need better software.
Alt names are not new, so restricting them to just one will always have been a ridiculous thing to do.

Generally, very little, but then I havent said it anything about that.
My point has clearly been that its not always necessary, and browsers mislead people with their FUD & warnings.
Benefit wise, their is the obvious one of not having to deal with certificates, possibly speed on very old devices, other than that, not much really.
