That is not a problem for certs, you are not changing it every second. And the "impossible to operate or debug" is just plain failse or incompetence

That is also just not true. Also, outage of DNS coz someone fucked up configuration management somewhere is not caused by anything related to DNS, it just so happens DNS is essential so any problem is visible.
