I love these sorts of hacks. In fact I did something similar with a project called rget[1] two thoughts:
1. My project got politely asked to not use the ct log and lets encrypt infra this way. Since you are only doing it every 12 hours you might be ok.
2. Sigstore[2] seems like it might be a good match and their infra is designed for lots of small fast one off sigs.

Mine is vaporware though. I never ended up implementing it and i lost the domain because I forgot to renew it.
As far as I understand there's also Zeitgitter[1], to provide similar proof.

I'm working on a text-based protocol for making and verifying timestamps of documents and live-streams. It uses SHA3-512 only. https://github.com/mleonhard/tokimark
