It's worth the effort, I just wouldn't use the descriptor of it being "fun". It's busywork equivalent to pointing nginx at your PHP socket. It's not fun, you're just wrangling a config file until it does what you want and the modern browsing landscape disproportionately demands HTTPS everywhere even for sites that arguably aren't really helped by it.
Anyway, all the steps together take what - all of 5 minutes? - that's if you do DNS Challenges. If you do HTTP challenges it doesn't even take that.
So you're saying this 5 minutes isn't worth the effort? That it's somehow too hard?
