The risk is not to the company using Cloudflare; the risk is to any legitimate individual who Cloudflare decides is a bot. Hopefully their detection is accurate because a false positive would cause great difficulties for the individual.
For months, my Firefox was locked out of gitlab.com and some other sites I wanted to use, because CloudFlare didn't like my browser.
Lesson learned: even when you contact the sales dept. of multiple companies, they just don't/can't care about random individuals.
Even if they did care, a company successfully doing an extended three-way back-and-forth troubleshooting with CloudFlare, over one random individual, seems unlikely.
