Yeah, that won't do. Let's Encrypt does an online verification. It puts
a file into a special folder in your web tree and then tries to access
that file via all the domains that your cert should be valid for. If you
have RewriteRules that prevent this, then the verification fails.

You need to insert this RewriteRule to allow LE access to the
.well-known directory:

RewriteRule ^(?!\.well-known(?:$|/)).* https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$0 [R=301,L]
