What is everyone's plan for replacing SSL/RADIUS certs moving forward since certificate lifetimes are decreasing drastically over the next few years? Does FortiNAC have any plans to allow for automatic renewals? Once 2029 comes and the expiry is 45 days, it's going to be a headache to renew and upload manually.

For private certificate it is not an issue since you can set the lifetime to a very long duration.

Public cert is only ""required"" for isolation portal (for guests).

Will the captive portal for an open network show a private cert as untrusted?

Yes for guests they will see it untrusted since they don't trust your private CA.
