Have been accessing my Home Assistant through a domain purchased through Cloudfare for months. No problem whatsoever. The protection and peace of mind is well worth the investment imo.

Now just make sure to "keep it secret, keep it safe" by not telling anyone what it is. Still a good chance you could be hacked, but it will keep you somewhat safer.
Is it only for your home assistant or you plan to host something else?
Just for Home Assistant, but I'm sure I can find other uses in the next 5 years. I I had a bunch of stuff I could access via DuckDNS and Nginx in the past but I either stopped using them or found the external access pointless and found a way to do it with HA instead
