When you're not paying for service, you're not the customer, you're the product.
I don't understand why anyone, especially anyone frequenting NANOG, would use Cloudflare for their DNS. Cloudflare runs a racket business, and their whole business model depends on them being a monopoly; plus people buying into the vapourware that they offer. When have monopolies been good for any industry? There's plenty of evidence of Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 not working correctly; I'm sure one of their employees (or the CTO!) will show up shortly to say otherwise! C.
