I feel like acme.sh is the kind of client she's ranting about. 8000 lines of shell code in acme.sh and more in dozens of user-contributed hook scripts, and over 1000 open issues on github?

Personally I like https://github.com/dehydrated-io/dehydrated. Same concept as acme.sh but only 2500 lines of shell and 54 open issues. You do have to roll your own hook script though.

Curiously, first commits for both acme.sh and dehydrated were in December 2015. Maybe they both took a security class at uni that fall.
