Trying to do something a bit crazy
There's no reason you couldn't run your own ACME server (the Let's Encrypt folk publish an open source one, boulder, but there's plenty of others). Then you can just use certbot in your VMs to manage certificates, configured to point to your CA server instead of the Let's Encrypt one.

Should you use Let's Encrypt for internal hostnames?
GP's post prompted me to look into LE's ACME server implementation, Boulder [1], but it's pretty apparent that Boulder is not suitable for small scale deployments. But the smallstep "certificates" project seems to be a lot more reasonable for this use-case. Thanks for sharing, I'll definitely check it out!

How to automate regular renewal certificates for a private CA?
There's also Boulder too which supposedly is what Let's Encrypt actually runs. But, I believe you have be running Python or Docker on your Linux server, where SmallStep didn't have that requirement.
- Self-hosted WUI Internal CA is needed. What would you suggest?

is it OK to use Free SSL/TLS Certificates - Let's Encrypt ?
Actually it is Open Source (I'd say "Free Software" but they're the same thing). The software that makes the CA work, Boulder, is here: https://github.com/letsencrypt/boulder and the end user software to get certificates which now called CertBot but was once just named "letsencrypt" is here: https://github.com/certbot/certbot

The Next Gen Database Servers Powering Let's Encrypt
Why are you assuming that their workload includes just one query per emitted certificate?
The reality is that they are storing information during challenges, implementing rate limiting per-account, supporting OCSP validation and a few other things.
You can investigate further if you really want to see the queries that they make against the database since their software (Boulder) is open source [1]. Most queries are in the files in the "sa" (storage authority) folder.

Why Let's Encrypt decided for EPYC instead of Xeon for their database
They won't pay any licensing fees at all when their whole stack is open source. They even wrote their own CA from scratch.
