I don't wanna bash Vercel for building a React based framework and then making you suffer to use it elsewhere outside of "their cloud" because that would be unfair. I have experienced similarly to you using Cloudflare Workers AI. The documentation wasn't up to date and I also encountered Wrangler CLI issues as described in the article you wrote. There's no one to blame, but everyone honestly. And I feel this is the reason the dokku/self-hosting community hive mind is having such a strong comeback. Funnily enough there is a correlation between self hosting and old school framework like RoR Django and Laravel... For my personal blog hosted on Cloudflare I am using Hexo.js - not as cool as Next but does the job and I can deploy it from gitlab using their Ci/Cd pipeline

This mostly seems the result of Cloudflare idiosyncrasies though. I don't recognise many of these commands (eg what is wrangler?), but we're running it as a regular Node app on a regular server, and it doesn't feel second-class at all.

  What are you using it for?

    I'm assuming you mean what Next.js features we're using? I think we're putting it properly through its paces, using the app router, server actions, image optimisation, middleware, etc. I don't think we've encountered anything we could do because of our setup.

      Anything you could do? What do you mean by that? Did you mean you "couldn't do"?

        Sorry yes, "couldn't do"! What an unfortunate mistake, completely changes the meaning.
