99% of the cases you don't need to backup the private key, since you can just generate it again and issue fresh new certificates with it via Let's Encrypt. The ssl folder can cause some problems when being restored when most of the time it doesn't really need to be.
However, there's the 1% of the cases where this is needed - for example, if you've issued a certificate you had to pay for, you'll need to have the private key for the certificate to work, or you'll need to re-issue the certificate (which may cost money, depending on the company you're getting them from).
So how would this work?
The ssl folder will not be backed up by default;
Users can toggle this on and off on the Backups admin page;
Provisioning a certificate manually (other than via Let's Encrypt) will turn the ssl folder backup on;
