I'm not expert and this was really nice and easy to read and understand. Thanks for sharing Troy.

Question: Should we even use Cloudflare for server-server communication such as webhooks, API calls etc?

If your API calls are so generic that you don't need to identify the caller using an API key or some other token then you might be able to get some mileage out of it. But personally I'd like all API calls to go to my servers and not someone else's. If only because I don't like 3rd parties having the ability to log the payloads of requests, and whoever terminates your SSL connections has the ability.
