Should I migrate to CloudFlare because of an SSL certificate?

You can set up SSL for yourself, you can move to Cloudflare and get additional goodies in the form of a CDN, etc.
But in the conditions they have for both the free and PRO accounts:

First 500k DNS requests are free. $.50 per every 500k DNS requests after

What is 500 thousand DNS requests? This is ~ 16 thousand per day, we have attendance of 10 thousand per day and 3 page views per person, i.e. 30 thousand hits a day comes out. But this is by page, and if each image, CSS file, etc. considered as a separate request, then there will be an unrealistic amount (10 times more).

Well, what other pitfalls are there? They write that only non-commercial projects can be hosted on a free plan. Do they check it?

Free certificates already exist on any hosting.

Letsencrypt is not worth it and gives everyone free certificates

Let's Encrypt for small projects. Comodo for business.
I do not understand why save on matches.

You think wrong. DNS requests are cached on the browser side.

Unlikely.

and you will get a situation when the next court in the village of Bolshoye Zadrischenskoye will enter one of cloudflare's ip addresses into the registry and your users will look at the provider's stub instead of kittens.
Total - I want https - let's encrypt
