This situation is addressed in detail already in the Security Considerations: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-tls-svcb-ech-07.html#section-8-1.  I don't believe we have any further recommendations.

I don't believe we have any relevant recommendations for logging or monitoring.  Any such logging would likely not be related to the DNS records, so those recommendations would be in draft-ietf-tls-esni or a later draft.

draft-ietf-tls-esni does already discuss these topics:
