We're building our startup infra on cloudflare over the other major hyperscalers and it turned out to be an amazing decision...
Generous free tiers, pricing scales very competitively after that, and their interface is not nearly as bad as GCP / AWS.
I highly recommend this stack.
Definitely.
I managed to get R2 with their cdn in front of it up and working in under an hour. The same experience with s3 fronted by cloudfront was 2 very long days. Due to my misunderstanding, yes, but aws provided (1) incomprehensible docs, (2) an extremely complex UI; (3) stale help all over the internet; and (4) incredibly unclear error messages.
I appreciate the fact its just connected enough to work. AWS does what feels like everything in their power to entrench you. I avoid AWS as much as possible but one example that comes to mind is the fact you basically need to use SQS for SES
It's hard to say because Google regularly releases updates that affect rankings.
I've had sites that don't use CF dropping positions in Google Search even though nothing changed on my end. Why? No idea.

Yes: https://developers.cloudflare.com/ Look at Cloudflare Workers and Cloudflare Workers AI.

Underrated.
Until recently, all the features were grouped in a very clear manner within the dashboard. Now, even Cloudflare is complicating its management interface, but they still have a long way to go before reaching the level of confusion of AWS and GCP.
