This was going to my answer. It's so easy to setup HTTPS that it makes no sense not to.
Ok so next level. Use a Certificate from an internal CA? As you can't use something like Letsencrypt
Or just use HTTPS
Why wouldn't Let'sEncrypt work? Do these systems not have access to the internet at all?
That’s not how let’s encrypt works. LE has to reach back to the device you cannot port forward everything to everything. I fucking hate how people think that let’s encrypt is the master solution for SSL because it is not

Actually it doesn't have to do that. I manage internal systems that don't have outside reaching in access and LE still works. They have alternative methods just for that. In my case, they aren't web servers.

Some devices are not online just internal and they wouldn't do HTTP confirmation but they could do DNS confirmation.
That' what I do in that case. Works well.

Why not just self sign? You are considering HTTP, using self signed is totally fine.

If it is the system they can use the fully current version of certbot and also that your DNS provider has a plug-in that works with certbot.

There are tons of alternatives to this. Even having a single "public" system getting a wildcard and then pushing that cert to the systems that need it would be fairly easy to script.
