certbot is just one of many, many ACME clients and libraries now available.

If you don't like how the nginx plugin works, then fork it.

Wrapping "certbot renew && nginx -s HUP" into a systemd service doesn't seem to be a very complex thing to do.

That's very close to what I'm doing, except I now refuse to touch certbot with a 10-foot pole. Plenty of better, do-one-thing-well, non-paternalistic ACME clients out there as you said.

The fact that there are alternatives, though, doesn't mean that the crappy "official" client isn't doing the LE ecosystem a disservice.
