This tip stems from the documentation provided by cert-manager: https://cert-manager.io/docs/devops-tips/backup/#avoiding-unnecessary-certificate-reissuance

Apply the extracted and prepared objects to the target cluster.

TIP: Restore TLS Secrets before restoring Ingress or Gateway resources to prevent unnecessary certificate reissuance. Avoid restoring Certificate objects generated by Ingress or Gateway resources, as their ownerReferences may be outdated. Let cert-manager recreate these Certificates automatically.
