Potential drawbacks include increased complexity in managing DNS records, the need for a reliable internet connection to Cloudflare, and potential latency if Cloudflare's servers are geographically distant from your users. It's also important to be mindful of Cloudflare's pricing structure and ensure it aligns with your budget.
