"Magic" is automation that is hidden from you. That one is not universally good. The one thing you don't want on the configurations of a server farm is "magic". It is simply impossible to manage.

But it's a good thing LE is available without the magic too.

Are you managing all your TCP connections manually then? It's a miracle that "magic" works without you having to manage it.
