How to mitigate the Hetzner/Linode XMPP.ru MitM interception incident
See RFC5507: "Why Adding a New Resource Record Type Is the Preferred Solution"
DNS providers should support a wide range of RR types, and domain owners should vote with their NS records.
See https://github.com/StackExchange/dnscontrol/blob/master/docu... for a list of DNS providers that support CAA.

Using AWS Route53 for personal use
I would create an AWS account for Route53 only. No other services or resources would be deployed. To manage the DNS records I may use: https://github.com/StackExchange/dnscontrol

Those who use custom domains for your email, which email do you use for the registrar that holds your domains?
Hover's DNS is very simple and bare bones. dnsimple works with dnscontrol so I can manage all my domains programatically

Domain names management systems
Have you tried dnscontrol.org? It ties into the registrar and DNS providers API's

DNS Zone File Creator
Was typing on phone and thought that was it. This one https://docs.dnscontrol.org/ explains a bit what it does and heres its github https://github.com/StackExchange/dnscontrol

Domain registrar Gandi gets bought out, screws existing customers
DNSControl[1] or another similar tool also helps a lot when moving. My DNS records are configured by a small JavaScript file in a git repository, and I can very easily point it at another DNS provider.

Dehydrated: Letsencrypt/acme client implemented as a shell-script
One of the biggest benefits of dehydrated is that it doesn't try to integrate with a DNS provider on its own. It just calls a hook, which can be implemented with a simple shell script[1]. The most popular third-party integration is lexicon[2], though you're not required to use Lexicon. (e.g. you're free to use awscli, gcloud, linode-cli, etc. to do the actual DNS record manipulation)
This means its dependencies footprint is much smaller, and allows you to do things that can be a nightmare to configure with Certbot or other alternatives. For example, at one of the scenarios I had to set up was that we had to query a credential via HashiCorp Vault, which is then used to cURL into an API endpoint. The shell script in total was pretty short (< 100 LOC) and it worked extremely well.

Why Certificate Lifecycle Automation Matters
A reminder that if you an internal-only server where the typical http-01' verification connection method will not work, especially if you cannot easily/dynamically update DNS records, one can use dns-01* by using DNS aliasing/CNAME:
* https://dan.langille.org/2019/02/01/acme-domain-alias-mode/
* https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/02/technical-deep-dive-se...
So if you want a cert for www.internal.example.com, you will first have do a one-time change to have a _acme-challenge.www.internal… CNAME created to point to any other (sub-)domain where you can easily update things dynamically, e.g., www-internal.example-dnsapi.com.
When request the cert for "www.internal…", LE/ACME will look up the corresponding _acme-challenge record, and go to "_acme-challenge.www-internal.example-dnsapi.com. The nonce token will be there in the 'final' destination following the CNAME in a TXT, which shows LE/ACME that you control the DNS chain.
To do the DNS updating, you can use a CLI/Python library like Lexicon, which supports dozens of APIs:

Easy HTTPS for your private networks
This leverages the ACME DNS server which has a REST API:
* https://github.com/joohoi/acme-dns
If your DNS provider has an API, you can hook into that for internal-only web servers; this handy code supports several dozen APIs so you don't have to re-invent the wheel:
* https://github.com/AnalogJ/lexicon
* https://pypi.org/project/dns-lexicon/
* https://dns-lexicon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide.html

what are better alternatives of noip?
Then, you can use ddclient, which supports many DNS services (including those providing DynDNS protocol), or you can write a Python script using the dns-lexicon module to manipulate the DNS records over the API.

What are some alternatives?
octoDNS - Tools for managing DNS across multiple providers
letsencrypt - Certbot is EFF's tool to obtain certs from Let's Encrypt and (optionally) auto-enable HTTPS on your server. It can also act as a client for any other CA that uses the ACME protocol.
DomainMOD - DomainMOD is an open source application written in PHP & MySQL used to manage your domains and other internet assets in a central location. DomainMOD also includes a Data Warehouse framework that allows you to import your web server data so that you can view, export, and report on your live data.
