It's not true that there's "no downside" to using CloudFlare. They've had outages in the past which have taken client sites offline [1], for one thing. Speaking personally, I've experienced subtle errors that have disappeared when I've moved my sites off the service.
CloudFlare may well be great for some people, but it's not perfect.
