Indeed this very article doesn't come up in searches like [ddg site:natehoffelder.com] or [noindex site:natehoffelder.com]. And the article has been up since at least May 30. So yeah, looks like an outage at Google on the crawling side.

When I go to the article I get some sort of cloudlflare "check" intermediate page. Could that be interfering with indexing?

No, that was because I thought my site was under attack (this was before I learned the story was posted here).
