Yeah I got a Python 3 largely working, I was planning on checking out a reasonably sized lets encrypt implementation and port if good.

If it's python, no porting is needed. AFAIK there are no "reasonably sized" C implementations. Too much protocol infrastructure mess.

Honestly simultaneously dealing with JSON *and* OpenSSL from C sounds so painful it should be in violation of the Geneva Convention

Think BearSSL and tiny fixed-schema JSON processing code.

Depends. Overly-powerful abstractions are not good in a security-critical context. Minimal ones that do the job are better.

C never provides abstractions that "do the job". Only half of it.
