CloudFlare works so well for so many use cases it's hard to justify not using it. I previously used it to get to my internal home network using the standard product and IP range whitelists (plus some additional secrets).
I currently have it running on top of some ancient legacy appengine apps to clean up domains/URLs, add a caching layer and keep my costs at basically zero overall (workers doing a little bit of work as well).
I'm tempted to ditch Google's legacy free workspace product using the email forwarding as well.
It's like Twilio: there just isn't anyone near from a competitor perspective. As long as they keep improving, they are so far ahead it's their game to lose.
And just to clarify: I do everything on the free tier.
