RFC1912 says

   Wildcard As and CNAMEs are possible too, and are really confusing to
   users, and a potential nightmare if used without thinking first.

You know the nightmare is real.  You've been there.

So why the heck do you insist on keeping that wildcard?  Nobody else use
wildcard A records.  There is no reason.  It's a loaded footgun.

I assume you know which names you are going to serve?
