In 10 years time when cloudflare goes bankrupt/withdraws the free offering, will you be able to redeploy to another platform or will you start having to delve into 10 year old code and porting it to a new API?

Is there at least an nginx-cloudflare module that lets you self-host this stuff?

You can self host the entire Worker runtime if you'd like: https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd
You mostly use standard Web APIs inside Workers, so that's portable, but the entire runtime (including Durable Objects, KV, R2 and D2) is open-source and can be self-hosted.

The static part, certainly (aside from issues like .html redirects, etc.). The dynamic part, hopefully with minimal work assume you can find a service that offers the same features, plugging into a new interface shouldn't be difficult.
