If it begins to enshitify, someone will quickly take up the helm. It's become so core now that someone like Cloudflare would just be like "We do this now."

Cloudflare sort of provides this now by being a MITM to secure your site between your server and the end user. But this requires you and your end user to trust Cloudflare.

And fwiw the ACME protocol is open so anyone can implement it. I believe even the ACME software that EFF sends out allows you to choose your server with some configuration.

Cloudfare means no click from me (TBH after I clicked)

Yup, it does. I think I still have my server hard coded from when it first launched.

I think Cloudflare enshittifying is a bigger risk that Let's Encrypt.
