Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there is a fundamental flaw in your understanding of how cloudflared tunnels work.
1 - you build a tunnel from inside the LAN to cloudflare (no NAT or port forwarding needed.
2 - you connect to cloudflare via a domain name where (purchased from cloud flare or any other sellers) the nameservers are set to cloudflare.
So from a browser you connect to cloudflare and cloudflare proxies your connect to your home network trough the tunnel.
Is it safe? I think not 100%, cloudflare knows what you are doing. But no need to open ports on our router. And you still need to protect your sites with passwords when appropriate. Anyone can who can guess your domainname can access your webserver and all that's on it, so lock down that what you want to keep private.
In the end it alcoves down to: "do I trust cloudflare (enough)?"
