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?

Just to be clear for OP, that applies only for protocols that “support DNS” as in, they send the DNS in the protocol.
The one I have in mind: http(s) and emails.
Games, FTP and most of the protocols don’t.
Still a bit wrong. You can use things like Portzilla and make it so that certain subdomains are for certain game servers.
You can also just use a web server like apache and have it forward the traffic to the correct place depending on the sub domain. This is what I do, I can have minecraft.mydomain.com route to 192.168.1.40:5000 and valheim.mydomain.com route to 192.168.1.40:27015.
