I'm not referring to Cloudflare. There are many other FaaS providers, e.g., Zeit's Now. It's true that cold boots are more probable for low-traffic sites. If your function recently ran, it's unlikely for a subsequent execution to be a cold boot. But it could be luck of the draw that Google's crawler hits your site during a period of low traffic, and your functions have to cold boot. That could impact page rankings, as response times influence those.

Also: Google surely pay some attention to network delays: serving Kenya from a Mombasa POP is going to be way faster than using some server in the US. I would expect Google to give that some juice.
