4. Cloudflare - maybe better safe than sorry since you need Pro for the WAF.

The $20/mo upgrade has more than that: https://www.cloudflare.com/plans/#compare-features

You need to pay it just for Cloudflare SSL to work in all browsers which is pretty necessary if you use that feature at all. But the plan has various other goodies like more page rules, the "Polish" image compression, and rate limit rules.

SSL status isn't changed with the pro plan. If you want non-SNI clients to be able to visit your site, you need the Business plan which assigns IPs to your website that serve your SSL even without SNI present, but this is usually unnecessary as the non-SNI client base gets smaller every year. All of the major browsers support modern TLS and SNI so the free plan will work as long as you don't need to support users running XP or odd mobile browsers on 5+ year old Android.
