Thanks - I might look at that, but as Ralph mentions in his reply - Let's encrypt certs are only for three months - never ending circus.
I wouldn't characterize it as a circus. Once you bootstrap your first certificate and install the cert-renew cron script, it's not something you have to pay a lot of attention to. I have a few LE certs in use, and I don't think about it anymore: it just works.
The shorter cert lifetime also helps limit damage if your certificate gets compromised.

Obviously you do not use clustered environments with more than one node per service. Else you would not call it "it just works", because in fact the renewal is quite big bs as one node must do the job while all the others must be _offline_.
Couldn't the others just proxy to the one, for the .well-known directory? They can continue serving up the rest of the site fine, surely?
I've worked with clusters, and with LE/certbot, but not yet both together.
