Nobody needs to rely on Cloudflare when they can use server-side solutions like Fail2ban (already mentioned). Other tools like iptables exist for more granular control over incoming traffic. There is no one-size-fits-all solution, so just pick the tool(s) that work for your situation. If your situation is so unique that no existing tool will work, you likely have the resources to write your own.
