Is there any reason now to use Cloudflare "full site caching" (cache everything via Page Rules) instead of this new Cloudflare Pages offering for static sites?

I know in the past, I at least would have my entire static site fully cached with Cloudflare using Page Rules.

What do I lose if I moved over to Cloudflare Pages? E.g. slower site performance, etc?

EDIT:

Follow-up question, what happens if I use Cloudflare Pages and then setup a Page Rule to "cache everything" from Pages?

In regards to your follow-up question, I've been using Cloudflare Pages for a month or so now. I found that it was by default faster than Netlify, and that adding a Page Rule to cache everything made things even a bit faster.

My guess is that by default it's not fully cached at all of their edge nodes, and by adding an aggressive Page Rule, the edge nodes can actually cache my site (which is very small and simple).
