    How is that worse than now? Right now Let's Encrypt is a single point of failure, if I can setup my certs to go Let's Encrypt and then if Let's Encrypt is down go to Cloudflare, then surely that's better than not getting a cert at all when Let's Encrypt is down.

    It's more redundancy. Am I missing something?

    Same here, and currently Let's Encrypt is a central point of failure for my stuff. I don't use any Cloudflare services, so adding it as a fallback for Let's Encrypt seems like a good option to have.
