Do you need a domain name if you are hosting a Lemmy instance, or will it work fine with just an ip-address + port (e.g. <username>@<ip-address>:<port>)?

I believe that means you must be registered as the owner with the RIPE or whichever authority is in charge of administrating IP ranges, so that would also negate the point of chaining IP addresses, since that would indeed be a permanent fixture.
For AWS it should then only work if Amazon Inc. is the applicant for the SSL cert., not merely a user. So it’s a quite theoretical application at best.
yes, there had to be catch, although the guy in this letsencrypt support thread is a senior Letsencrypt engineer and he seems to be saying it is possible - although letsencrypt doesn’t support it. I do think you’d have to show a bit more to the issuer to prove ownership than an http acme challenge though.
It doesn’t make a lot of sense for LetsEncrypt to spend time adding support for such certs, since both a domain name and a cert from another CA are cheaper than buying an IPv4 block
