DNS is really irrelevant to GitHub - you can handle it anywhere. I generally use e.g. Google Cloud Platform/Azure/AWS's DNS capabilities as they're super cheap and convenient.
And a CDN is probably not going to make a massive difference to your GitHub Pages -website - not sure what you're hosting though hehe.
You're right for most of the above points, I like cloudflare to do almost application level stuff (eg. domain redirect codewithhugo.com/the-step-by-step-...) and to be able to set caching policy for assets (GH pages doesn't allow that).
It's not crucial but it's been quite useful to get some stuff done.

Anyway, interesting to hear your reasoning.
