From their risk factors:
"Our business depends on our ability to retain and upgrade paying customers and, to a lesser extent, convert free customers to paying customers, and any decline in renewals, upgrades, or conversions could adversely affect our future results of operations" (Emphasis mine)
Kind of matches what you are saying. However, a couple of counter-points to consider:
1. Are Cloudfare fees a major portion of your costs and the first to be on the chopping block?
2. Are you OK with the risk that you can withstand cyber-crimes against your property by saving the said amount.
I don't have the numbers yet and I might be wrong but services like Cloudflare are becoming similar to some grocery purchases:
Sure you might skimp a bit during a downturn, but you won't do without them
