Personally, I distrust any ecommerce site that uses any free cert. I see paid cert as a commitment to do honest business, as they need to have some records on the CA.
But for a blog or anythings other than ecommerce is totally fine by me.
Note: It is not about security, nor automation, but a show commitment (i.e. buying a cert), largely psycological.
Let's Encrypt is just as secure as paid certs. They're held to the same security standard.
even more secure with the 90 days policy.
Better as they are more transparent
