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.
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.

Between the desperately slow web app and awful customer support, I don't understand how anyone uses or recommends namecheap.
Cloudflare is the go to unless they don't have the tld.

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.

haha, wow... how shitty of them.
Cloudflare registrar is poor recommendation because you are forced to use Cloudflare dns.
I learned this the hard way when I had to use route 53 dns and had to wait 60 days to transfer.
I don’t know how this is allowed, registrars should be required to let you set custom dns.
Cloudflare has a history of randomly hijacking the site without notification if they don't like you. So no.
Only in extreme cases where their CEO disapproves of you.
The idea cloudflare binds you to cloudflare DNS, if you don't want to use it you are out of luck.
The problem* thanks auto correct.
