Thanks, i'm happy that my RIR is RIPE. I hope other RIRs will make
auto-renew as well.

Also, about ROA expirations is it possible to configure an automatic ROA
extension after it's expires ?

Well, you probably hit one of the next biggest operational issues,
so congrats ;-).

If you are in the ARIN region you might want to track the process
for ACSP Suggestion 2021.15

If you are in another regions you can see the differences here:

Dear Edvinas,

We're thinking of enabling BGP ROA, because more and more ISPs are
using
strict RPKI mode.

Does enabling Hosted Mode (where it doesn't requires any additional
configuration on client end) on RPKI could for some reason could
cause a
traffic loss ?

The only disasterious scenario i could think of, is if we would
enable
ROA
with incorrect sub prefixes, maximum prefix length. Am i Right ?

I think you correctly identified most of the potential pitfalls.
Another
pitfall might be when a typo in the Origin AS value slips into the RPKI
ROA.

For example, I originate 2001:67c:208c::/48 in the DFZ from AS 15562.
Should I'd accidentally modify the covering ROA to only permit AS
15563,
the planet's connectivity towards 2001:67c:208c::/48 would become
spotty.

So... - BEFORE - creating RPKI ROAs, I recommend setting up a BGP/RPKI
monitoring tool. NTT's excellent BGPAlerter might be useful in this
context: https://github.com/nttgin/BGPalerter

Don't deploy things without monitoring! :-)

Kind regards,

Job
