To wrap this up, I managed to get SSL to RESTbase working, but using CPanel 
AutoSSL instead of LetsEncrypt. AutoSSL and LetsEncrypt are similar services 
but I used AutoSSL because my main mediawiki install is served on CPanel.

In a nutshell, I
) Created a sub-domain, mw.mywikidomain.com. The associated SSL certificate was 
automatically created.
) Pointed the DNS entry for mw.mywikidomain.com to my home server IP address
) Exported the certificate and key entries into an stunnel install running on 
my home server and listening on port 7232.
) Changed the $wgVisualEditorRestbaseURL and $wgVisualEditorFullRestbaseURL to 
point to https://mw.mydomain.com:7232/mywikidomain.com/v1/page/html/ and 
https://mw.mydomain.com:7232/mywikidomain.com/, respectively.

Thanks for the help.
