It's almost certainly against cloudflares tos, and against the open source license terms for the website, so if cloudflare gets wind about you doing this, they can probably send you a cease and desist, and then cancel your contract with them.

If they're really pissed, and you run a decently large site that regularly runs into errors, they might be able to successfully argue slander in court.

Yeah, at this point Cloudflare should just trademark network outages.
