one of the issues with that is latency, i wonder how they work around that. or maybe they just dont care for latency

  The handshake is probably not much slower than it would be if the web browser were connecting directly to the bank, since there is only one round trip with the key server per handshake, and the latency between Cloudflare and web browsers tends to be pretty low since Cloudflare has so many POPs.

    yes, but over thousand of connections its significant. what was a millisecond or less becomes 20ms. so 20x slower. not sure how much impact this has in real life, but this is one of the issue with this design (also one of the reason is rarely implemented like this but with HSMs instead)
