"Your hosting provider may be serving the DST Root X3 until September 2021, or they may decide to switch to the certificate chain that leads to ISRG Root X1 after January 11, 2021. Please contact them if you have any questions!"

Looks like I'll have to send new tablets to my website visitors.

Welp, unfortunate that I am stuck using a phone with Android 6 because I am poor.

BuyPass Go SSL (their free SSL alternative) currently doesn't support wildcard certificates, nor do they have DNS support in general at the moment.

ZeroSSL's free plan seems to be limited to 3 certificates at a time, though unlimited certificates is relatively affordable.
Wildcards on ZeroSSL are pretty expensive though ($40 per month if paid yearly, $50 per month otherwise).

EDIT: I'm no expert on certificates and CAs, so I'm not sure how neither would be affected by similar expirations.
BuyPass has been in the market for a while as far as I know and ZeroSSL seems to be signed via Sectigo / Comodo.

you can install both using acme.sh (which I use), as easy as using Let's Encrypt because they use ACME.
