Absolutely happy with Cloudflare Tunnels/ZeroTrust. Yes, I realize all the pros and cons. There are some good points made on both sides of the fence. Do I think it makes me less of a selfhoster? Nah. I don't really have any interest in pedantic, hair splitting, of definitions. Cloudflare isn't all that I use tho. I use Tailscale on my stand alone pFsense firewall, and on the server itself as an overlay layer of protection. I also use Duckdns in conjunction with LetsEncrypt on my VPS, however, I wanted something that I felt was more secure on my homelab, and Cloudflare fit the bill.
That is not to say I am in this blindly. If at some point Cloudflare, or any other service I use, doesn't suit it's purpose anymore, I can always move on to something else. Monitor, and make choices based on those observations. We should do that with any service, software, opensource or closed source anyways.
