What is to stop them from lying? They get a warrant, but don't remove the canary. Later on, someone finds proof of the warrant, but then what? You sue Cloudflare for...what? False advertising?

Nothing, at the end of the day, whether giving someone else your data is a good idea or not remains a question of trust.

Do you trust them to stop updating the canary in case they become compromised?

If the answer is no, then you probably shouldn't be giving them valuable data.
