I don't like all those dependencies certbot (python) installs, but it works flawlessly on CentOS.
On CentOS 8 you need to enable the EPEL *and* PowerTools repositories (/etc/yum/repos.d/...)

I've attached a small perl script that I call via cron 30 minutes after certbot starts which reloads services if necessary.

Best regards

#!/usr/bin/perl

my $reload;

open(FF, "find /etc/letsencrypt/live -mtime -1 -name cert.pem |");
while(<FF>){
	chomp;
	next if !$_;
	$reload++;
}
close(FF);

if($reload){
	system("/usr/bin/systemctl reload httpd");
	system("/usr/bin/systemctl reload postfix");
	system("/usr/bin/systemctl reload dovecot");

}
