Using acme.sh to install the Let’s Encrypt certificates also installs the renewal. It’s more work not to do it.

You literally just click a button in the website configuration panel that says "I want it!" and everything happens automatically from that point on, including renewal. | |

An expired certificate will trigger a TLS handshake failure and nothing will arrive at the HTTP level. Clients will see a big warning in their browser with some text (that they will basically not understand) and a button asking them if they want to go through or not. | |
