> you make it sound like setting up automated renewals is an onerous process
The problem isn't that it's hard to set up. It's that it adds another thing that I have to monitor for failures and troubleshoot when it breaks. For a small hobby site, I might go longer than 47 days without looking at it.

fair point. for the stakes we're talking about, i've personally found it more than reliable for a handful of hobby sites i've hosted over the years, and i don't typically monitor the renewal process for those types of things.
ymmv. for me, i'll fix it if i have to, but i haven't yet :)
