What's stopping you from creating a "localhost.mydomain.com" DNS record that initially resolves to a public IP so you can get a certificate, then copying the certificate locally, then changing the DNS to 127.0.0.1?

Other than basically being a pain in the ass.

One can also use the DNS-01 challenge in that scenario.
