Thanks for everyone's feedback! It's likely that I will revisit using privately 
signed certificates for non-public facing admin gui pages via our Microsoft AD 
base. As long as it's a Windows workstation signing into AD accessing the page, 
the certificate will be trusted without any warnings, etc. Again, this is just 
for non-public facing admin gui's so our team doesn't have to import private 
keys.

The hardest part was finding some decent instructions on how to do so. 
Apparently, when a private signed certificate is generated and granted it's 
available for download from the link presented during the process and there's 
no easy way to find an inventory of generated certificates!

DNS authorization of Let's Encrypt can be done through automated methods. 
Especially with a client such as dehydrated and the use of dynamic DNS updates 
(through ddns methods of nsupdate, or through the API of your DNS provider).

Not sure how easily the SSL cert can be rotated on the appliance devices though.
