This is an interesting question. If I am not mistaken, the Great Firewall is IP-based. CloudFlare is a proxy. If you are on public (non-ssl) CF, you are using a shared IP and chances are you will have erratic problems. If you are using ssl, then you are still using a shared IP, but only shared with ~20 other sites. The chance that one of those other sites will trigger a GFW ban is low... but not zero.
Depending on the consequences of China downtime for your app, it might be a viable solution. You can probably get CF to regenerate the certificates and land you on a different IP if the old one ever gets blocked. Chances are it will never be an issue. Of course, this requires making your app full-time SSL. Which is not a bad idea.
