Obviously in order for these alternatives to become widespread, large ISPs and/or browser makers will need to resolve them. Do you see any current solutions being accepted, or something new entirely?

It’s a mixed bag.

ENS has a lot of traction within the Ethereum community - but nothing that bridges the gap to legacy DNS.

Handshake is a shitshow - because it’s all mainly just speculation around scooping up TLDs

Ziliqua I don’t know but seems like ETH, relevant within its own ecosystem

Unstoppable is just a variation of the legacy ICANN style “register your name in these TLDs before somebody else does” grift.

Stacks has promise except for the infighting and that they’re a side chain to an ecosystem that dismisses them as shitcoiners.

There is no naming initiative on Bitcoin that has any momentum, although I believe ordinals provides a pathway to it, but anybody who suggests that will be tarred and feathered.
