While using the certificates is not a problem, as it is possible from the WebUI, having then renewed and automatically installed can be a different story.

In my case, one of the providers is Namecheap, an they decided not to integrate Let’s Encrypt support into cPanel because (they say) it requires a big amount of changes to their infrastructure.
