Not sure I understand "pay for the proxying" - you should still be able to sign up your domains with the "free" plan as long as you use CF as your dns. If you don't want to proxy, your DNS records can be set to grey clouds so it just acts as a DNS service (but yes, you do have to be on Cloudflare's nameservers for now).

Are there any plans for allowing customers to use Cloudflare Registrar without Cloudflare DNS?

At this time we don't have any plans to open up the Registrar to domains not using Cloudflare's DNS. If that changes in the future we'll be sure to announce it.

Is there any benefit to having critical domains registered and DNSed at Cloudflare as opposed to using a separate registar w/ Cloudflare's DNS? The benefit of the latter is that one has optionality of DNS providers, and additionally one can use DNS providers that support zone export for secondary DNS.

One-click DNSSEC I guess.

There's only one domain allowed for free in the DNS/Proxying plan, there's no way I've seen to add more than one domain without being forced to buy the advanced plan?

That's not true. You have always been able to add as many domains for free to a plan as you want. I think there may be some coded limit in the thousands, but our support team can even waive that if you ask nicely.

Hmm, when Cloudflare registrar first came out I remember not being able to transfer just a domain name to CF without having to upgrade plans (or it was a dark pattern). Maybe I indeed have to recheck.
