Are there any potential drawbacks or unintended consequences of relying heavily on the Cloudflare Managed Bots List?

While highly effective, relying solely on a bots list might not catch sophisticated, previously unseen bots (zero-day attacks). Overly aggressive actions (e.g., blocking all managed bots) could also unintentionally block some niche but legitimate services or crawlers. It's crucial to review logs and adjust rules periodically to strike a balance between security and accessibility, especially if non-standard services interact with your site.
