Is this with provisioning many new certs?

The recommended renewal cycle gives you a 30 day lead on failure becoming a problem, plenty of time for multiple retries or recovery processes to use an alternate.

The only issues I've ran into, have stemmed from DNS for wildcard certs, where a client's DNS provider is... pretty crap about updating records despite low ttls being set.

It’s a web hosting business. New customers want effortless free TLS asap. We get customers who routinely create new sites who come to expect fast provisioning.

Some people on the cloud like to issue a certificate per machine, so no ACME = no new VMs.
