Right, the organizations who will have a real problem are those still
renewing certificates manually. They have a choice between spending a
bit more on their own staffing, or automating renewal (probably cutting
their overall costs in the long run).

I can see this being a big pain for private infrastructure.  Much networking
gear, for example, has a web interface for uploading a certificate, but not
an automated flow for doing so.  If that gear is also not able to reach the
internet it can't do any kind of 'well-known' challenges.

I'm sure there are workarounds, but they won't necessarily apply to what's
already out there.  This change could be disruptive for that.
