I've actually used that combination before and I would hate for the person that DDoSed me to know how much they cost me.
Definitely hide whatever you implement behind CloudFlare.
That's probably the most expensive route you can go once you have any decent traffic.
What about text content only? This is free SSL with Let's Encrypt but Cloudfare seemingly charges for SSL.

Edit: Seemingly it could be free, but you must manually handle your certs to some degree.

Edit 2: Cloudfront now comes with "AWS Shield Standard" automatically to protect from DDOS?

I think literally the only more expensive option you could’ve suggested is Akamai.
