One perk that someone told me about is that you can use your domain to get around not having a static IP (because the DNS will compensate).
If I were to get a Cloudflare domain name then what would be some other pros and cons?

Wanted to expand on your custom domain for an email since this is something I do to get a more professional email address to put on my resume. A lot of DNS services like Cloudflare or NameCheap will actually let you create email addresses off of your custom domain that will just forward to a different email of your choosing, and generally free or very very cheap as well. If you want to be able to actually send emails from your custom domain, you can setup a Google Workspace account with a single seat for $5 a month and have a fully hosted email solution that uses your custom domain name.
Can also do this with iCloud+ for 99 cents a month.
Purelymail
Proton mail will let you do wildcard email and it’s only $3-4 a month. If you need smtp support then you can just setup a hydroxide container.
Does it even work?
better to use zoho. Zoho mails provides you 5 free custom email for free and zeptomail allows you to send k emails for 1 dollars
When I used Zoho Free, many of my emails would end up in people’s spam folders. My domain is certainly not on any blacklist, it was pointed correctly and with the security and domain validation features enabled and everything configured properly. Deployed it to small business clients as well and same result.
Gmail doesn’t seem to like Zoho.
What seemed to work like a charm was to use iCloud+ Custom Email and just add my custom domain addresses as aliases on Gmail. It’s like having a custom domain Google Workspace without paying anything (apart from the iCloud subscription that gives you a ton of space for all your data).
