When I set up my Let's Encrypt certificates, I hand-wrote my .conf files for Apache2, mainly because of this little personal quirk: I don't trust automagical things. I get mocked fairly frequently for my tendency to do things manually, especially with IT stuff, but my end results are usually cleaner and more stable than mainstream, I find.

Yeah I find 'magic' stuff tends to be overly verbose or just unnecessary. At worst it'll explode things - as I discovered.
