No such thing as dumb questions, only people who can't answer
them :-)
I have multiple domains for email because the domains contain
the family name and I host for both my own family as well as
several 'in-law' with different family names.

Yes, either using one domain or hosting on multiple ports
would definitely work. And since I am providing this service
for free the in-laws would not complain.
However I prefer to keep my support duties to a minimum. And
neither of these solutions will work with the auto configuration
present in almost all mail clients today.
So if I can spend a bit of resources on getting SNI to work and
hence auto configuration that would be benicifial in the long
run.
