Clarification: only a reload (graceful) is necessary, not stop+start.
 
Since the renewal is done usually a month in advance, you have plenty of time. My debian systemd controlled apache is restarted gracefully each day anyway, for example.

For a new domain mod_md initially installs a "fallback" certificate that is not trusted by browsers, but lets the server start with your configuration. It usually takes a minute to obtain the Lets Encrypt cert. Do a graceful reload afterwards and your site should be up.

It is designed to be more reliable and also offers monitoring. But it is a new thing and bugs may be found.
