Careful with Cloudflare, they don't let you change nameservers[1]:

> Registrant agrees to use Cloudflare’s nameservers. REGISTRANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT MAY NOT CHANGE THE NAMESERVERS ON THE REGISTRAR SERVICES, AND THAT IT MUST TRANSFER TO A THIRD PARTY REGISTRAR IF IT WISHES TO CHANGE NAMESERVERS.

So it's a no-go if you want to use Route 53 or something like that.

It’s so they can better MitM your traffic, for your protection.
You do not have to use their "cloud MitM" feature, it's just the NS that you can't change.
They could switch your A records and still MitM your whole site. Granted I’m sure that would only happen if their CEO was really mad, but it just requires too much trust for my comfort.
haha, wow... how shitty of them.
