I’m using CloudFlare to hide my home IP and to reduce traffic from clankers. However, I’m using the free tier, so how am I the product? What am I sacrificing? Is there another way to do the above without selling my digital soul?

Consider what a DDOS attack looks like to Cloudflare, then consider what your home server can actually handle.
There’s likely a very large gap between those two points.
For me, my server will start to suffer long before traffic reaches the level of a modern DDOS attack.
