CF will cooperate with UK authorities because they're not in 4chan's business.

Yeah that's option 3, for now. But they won't go after cloudflare in the general case because it's too risky IMO. And cloudflare will only comply to the absolute minimum they can get away with, because they can't burn money auditing every single customer behind cloudflare.

no, they just drop customers when people complain that they host legal content they happen to disagree with (KF).
I doubt it heavily. CF has control over a large chunk of the global internet - they're not going to go thru their clients one by one and make sure they're doing age verification. That's absurd and far too expensive.
The alternative to that is either:
1. UK blocks cloudflare (unlikely, come on now)
2. UK gives cloudflare a pass (fairly common)
3. Somewhere in-between. Maybe UK cares about highly visible people behind cloudflare like 4Chan but not others.
