Cloudflare for both registration and DNS
ClouDNS
Oh yeah, that's a good point!
I have an entire separate domain (also short, a 4.2 domain) just for the internal wireguard addresses of all my different systems. I know that stuff isn't really supposed to be in public DNS, but it's really nice not having to fiddle with private / public zone rules every time I add a new machine and / or relying on resolving via a private DNS when the wireguard route might not be established yet.
I do my own DNS
I’ve had fewer slowdowns on my network since swapping in servers from a dns server list, especially the ones with higher long-term reliability. It made testing different locations way easier, too, since everything’s already sorted by country and performance. If you’re tweaking your setup or just want something more stable than your ISP’s defaults, it’s a handy place to pull options from.
This is about the authoritative servers you use for your domain, not the resolver you use on your endpoints. Also, your post looks like shadow advertising.

cloudflare, worry-free
Ouch. Hope it's nothing important.
6 powerdns servers running on cheap vps's around the world, all controlled by a hidden master. I set it up many years ago and it just works, literally zero maintenance except apt update once in a while.
Cloudflare
Cloudflare and Hurricane Electric.
If I have a one-off project and I'm feeling lazy, I may do the registrar DNS. Otherwise, I roll my own.
Generally now, I have four DNS slaves that pull from a master. The master is accessible and is in the SOA record, but is not listed as NS. One of those slaves is on my own hardware, the other three are VPSs (ARPNetworks, OpenBSD.Amsterdam, and IRCNow.)

I am using Cloudflare DNS for most of my domains but I want to transfer all zones to Bunny DNS (aff/non-aff).
Why do you want to transfer?
I don't want to be the person who depends on Cloudflare as much as the rest of the world, plus Bunny is a European provider which is a big plus for me.
Mentally strong people don't use DNS they memorize the IP addresses and then type them directly.
Cloudflare plus HE
I use Porkbun's DNS, because I am lazy.
I will basically host to Cloudflare, unless the registrar does not support hosting to external.
Cloudflare Registrar is the only registrar that doesn't permit an external DNS provider.

You know, this raises a good point. Obviously nobody is going to type the IP address of Google to get to Google, but when it's one computer talking to another, why should it need DNS? When Google directs you to their search results page, they know the IP address of the server hosting that page, and DNS just adds another moving part that can break.
This should be illegal.
Slaving off my hidden DNS master to free secondaries, then picking the cheapest DNS registrar for each zone. Let em DDOS the secondaries all they want. they aint mine.
You are right, as always, and with Let's Encrypt now offering TLS/SSL certificates for IP addresses it's easier than ever to do everything you need without resorting to domain names.
I host my own authoritative DNS with
nsdonly cloudflare
I used to host my own authoritative DNS using bind, now I use CloudNS.
