The fact that TLS client certs, in particular, have zero commercial end-user deployment uptake, should tell you something.I cannot recommend more strongly to stay the bloody hell away from the entire real PKI/X.509/CAs morass. A solution based on e.g. SSH and key continuity is, while certainly less traditional, enormously likely to work out better in practice.<br>
