deb	https://qgis.org/debian-nightly		unstable	main

that works for me - just verified that it's not only apt-get update, but also
apt-get install (qgis.org points at a cloudflare)

The docs shouldn't mention ubuntu.qgis.org (or any *.qgis.org; because
ubuntu.qgis.org is just one name to trigger the wildcard, that leads to the
actual server instead of going through cloudflare).

http://foo.qgis.org/ will work, while https://foo.qgis.org/ won't, because the
later will present the qgis.org certificate that doesn't cover the wildcards
(IIRC letsencrypt didn't support that at least when that was setup).
