Key and cert should ideally be separate.

It should.

openssl x509 -out server.crt -in combined.pem
openssl rsa -out server.key -in combined.pem

That's not the PITA. Handling CSRs, signatures etc. is. But, it is a problem
worth solving, as we really should have a solution for this. We have been
using OpenCA at work for this, with some semi-automated enrolment with
autosscep (and SCEP on Cisco routers, Cisco VPN client etc.).
