I'd say they're actually easier, at least in my experience. Since wildcard certs use DNS-01 verification with an API, you don't need to deal with exposing port 80 directly to the internet.
Yes, it can be easier. But not every DNS provider allows API access, so you might need to change the provider.
(good luck with that in many enterprise scenarios).
You can also delegate a subdomain to another provider with an API, but yes I see what you mean. Although I feel like getting port 80 open would be difficult as well in those situations.
You can use ACNE DNS. Just add the single record for acne dns and then you can the acne dns api to fulfill the challange.
Yes, if you do this ~~manually~~ it will work.
No, you can do this process to automate it.
Sorry, I understood you wrong. You're right!
