My first question was going to be whether the browsers will trust them.
But found the answer in their FAQ

Will certificates from Let’s Encrypt be trusted by my browser?

The short answer is “yes”.

The long answer is that our issuing intermediates will be cross-signed by a widely trusted IdenTrust root (DST Root CA X3). This will allow our certificates to be trusted while we work on propagating our own root.
