Re-reading certbot.eff.org, it does indeed say "distant future" is
defined as 30 days.  My bad for missing it the first time.

Given that, I think I'm comfortable with a daily cronjob.  It would be
_really_ unlucky for letsencrypt DNS to be fscked 30 consecutive days.

Thanks for the ideas, I'll add them to the "when bored" list :-)
