Can I check-in even though my e-visa will arrive an hour after boarding? (for Vietnam transit)

Presumably by a "self-transfer stop" you mean that you are travelling on two tickets? In general most nationalities do not require a visa to transit Vietnam (presuming you are going via either Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi), however with multiple tickets, and especially if you have checked bags, then you may well need a visa.

If you require a visa, then you will generally need to have it before you will be able to check-in for the first flight in your trip, or at the latest before you board that flight. (The exact process varies from airline to airline). There is zero chance that the airline will allow you to board before the visa is approved if one is required.

Unfortunately if your visa isn't approved earlier than stated then your only option is likely to change flights to a later date.
