Just set a limitation of lines of footnotes, such as 5, (or percentage of screen height). If footnote exceeds 5 lines, then at the end of footnotes add ...(more) and a small button or link, for user to pop up a window to read whole footnote.

Still, the problem is, they just don't do it. ( I mean the software developer for ereaders, such as Adobe)
Well the epub3 rendering on Kobos does exactly that.
Epubs can be 'koboified' (which triggers the use of the
epub3 engine) using a Calibre plugin
