ACME clients like Certbot can and do handle a lot of that for you as well.
Certbot isn't as universal as Cloudflare though, since you can't run it on a lot of shared hosting sites. It also requires a basic level of proficiency with the command line, which is unfortunately a bar a little too high for some users.
