Yes, I had happened read about an article about this topic, about find out who is the owner behind cloudflare, so I am pretty sure there is a method, oh already saved lol:

Yes. I tested it on myself once, but it got it wrong because I updated my host.
I now create a new CloudFlare account for each website to prevent people linking up all my sites.

Yeah, Cloudflare is a honeypot. Although it's worthy for black hat sites just for a profit intent.
It's awkward to use Cloudflare if you have a legit informational site that can go viral without the hand of Google (like wikileaks). So it's a bad idea to the CDN or their reverse proxy capabilities in legit sites because it is clearly a honeypot to block certain user groups (for example, they love to intercede between Venezuelan or Chinese people)
Personally I like to use the CF DNS because they are the fastest in EU and USA and a lot of people are using 1.1.1.1 and they don't block anything with their free DNS service (although they get info, I'm not at that paranoid level yet).
Just do a DNS check

You will see if the site is using the CF DNS
I checked nameservers and they point to cloudflare.

This is a bit confusing honestly.
I want to find 1 website host, not for spying or anything, just because my host is shit and I want to check what some good websites are using. And they are all using cloudflare. But I want to see the host they are using behind cloudflare. So there is no way to find out someone's host pretty much if they are using cloudflare?

What is the problem in people linking up all your websites?

for hosting check vultr. Best cheap vps for hosting in my opinion. Many people use vultr for their websites including me.
About the 2nd question, if you have pbn and your competitor knows all the sites you get f**ked.

You get fucked in the sense that they will copy you?
