Hi! Why not use Cloudflare?
Why would you trust an American company like that? They can literally MITM all traffic if they want to (or are forced to by subpoenas).
Using CF would kill all trust in this service.
That's right, but they still use an American company (on clearnet side). Namecheap Inc, with default DNS: registrar-servers.com
Simply using namecheap for your DNS is very different from routing all your traffic through a Cloudflare name server.
using DNS + SSL only exposes your IP to the DNS provider, whereas if you use something like cloudflare, you route all traffic through, let it be encrypted, you can still expose a much larger amount of fingerprints.
Still doesn't seem ideal but i don't think you can have DNS without someone logging certain things such as your IP. (right?)
