Letsencrypt signs with a signing key which is signed by the DST Root CA
which has been valid since 2000, and should be present on almost every
device. [For reference, google.com is signed by a key which was
generated in 2002...]

So if it does have an issue with validity, it's an issue which many
SSL certificates are going to share.
