It's not really a fiasco at all. OP seems to be blowing it way out of proportion. For the vast majority of users it's not a big deal at all. They are disallowing port forwarding due to how many letters/threats they've gotten from their datacenters and law enforcement.

Or they completely ignore and it and nothing happens until someone actually sues them and it goes through the courts, which could take years.
Every time I've turned on caching on my instance, it goes into a redirect loop and doesn't connect. I've tried searching everywhere to see if it's just something I've done wrong (which is how I found this comment) but can't find any tutorials or anything on caching with cloudflare on lemmy. I'm guessing it's just not possible.
