This seems very similar to Freenet. The only difference I see at a glance is that Cloudflare is running gateways so that everyone does not have to run a node.

On freenet other people are sending you files to store, on ipfs you only store your own files, files pinned (basically seeding) and files from your cache. Freenet is built for anonymity, while ipfs is built for performance.
You can simplify freenet's behavior to storing only cached files, though.
