I use this configuration [1] but also face a chicken-and-egg problem
for new sites. I normally take nginx offline with

   sudo herd stop nginx

and then configure any newly needed certificates from Let's Encrypt with

   sudo certbot certificates --standalone

Then I start Nginx again.

At my convenience (but within ninety days) I then reconfigure the
equipment while including both the new website in Nginx and the new
Certbot definition in config.scm.

Hope that helps!

Kind regards
