Sure, but it’s really nice if it does.
I use Cloudflare, and my login token only supports editing DNS records, which is nice. If yours doesn’t, it may be worth switching to one that does. There are lots of options and many of them have a reasonable API.

Any DNS host that doesn’t support automation either starts building now or goes out of business when short certs are implemented.
