Using TLS on a server which doesn't have outbound/inbound access to the Internet/LetsEncrypt servers.

Sharing a (wildcard) certificate between multiple servers.

Thats a distribution problem. You don't need to be accessible from the outside internet to use a LE certificate. You can request a cert from another one, then copy it. (Either manually or automatically, that is up to you)
