I don't use Tor daily (although I run a small exit node), but I do surf via a VPN. cloudflare's captchas drive me to the brink of insanity, I see at least 50 ea

  Have you considered setting up your own VPN? That would make the ip "clean" and get less captchas, right?

      Tor : Anonymity :: VPN : Privacy VPNs do not provide anonymity.

        I think you misunderstood -- I parsed it as "And using a VPN would negate any anonymity offered (by using Tor)".

  Cloudflare says: > With most browsers, we can use the reputation of the browser from other requests it’s made across our network to override the bad reputation of the IP address connecting to our network. For instance, if you visit a coffee shop that is only used by hackers, the IP of the coffee shop's WiFi may have a bad reputation. But, if we've seen your browser behave elsewhere on the Internet acting like a regular web surfer and not a hacker, then we can use your browser’s good reputation to override the bad reputation of the hacker coffee shop's IP. I occasionally use a VPN, but I've never gotten a CloudFlare captcha. Is it possible that you might be doing something else other than just using a VPN, such as blocking cookies?
