CF is compatible with every website. It’s up to you to configure CF appropriately.

Refer to my last comment. CF can be configured to work with any website. If you don’t know what page rules are, it’s because you are a noobie and shouldn’t be giving any advice.

Hey buddy,
So, which service are you trying to use? CF’s proxied DNS? CF pages? Firewall rules?
Also, when you say “not compatible”, do you mean your site is not compatible with CF pages? Or is it that CF doesn’t allow what your site is about?
It is impossible to suggest you something that would work, without knowing what you are looking for.
Yes we do

Proxied DNS; cloud flare starts blocking direct access to the server's IP thus denying me access to my control pannel

This looks like a configuration issue and not a Cloudflare issue.
Cloudflare only manages the DNS proxy. So it routes all request to your server through it's edge nodes without exposing your servers IP.
Bu if you access
http://xx.xx.xx.xx (Your IP), there's no way for Cloudflare to know since you've bypassed them entirely. Do you have UFW or fail2ban rules on your server?
No, the error page literally said something to the effect of "access denied this IP is part a domain protected by cloudflare"
I can't remember the exact wording, but it wasn't a server side configuration issue.
Clonning the entire server to a new VPS with a different IP immediately cleared the issue, despite having the exact same config due to being a 1:1 clone.

Are you able to share a screenshot of the error? (You can obfuscate any information that is sensitive, you can also DM it to me if you want)
For a screen shot
We would have to re-enable Cloudflare... Wait for it to start... take the screen shot... Disable Cloudflare
It would literally take a full day or more. So, unless someone knows a fast way to do this then I can't provide a screen shot.

Without knowing the specific root of the incompatibility, it would be impossible to profer a relevant solution.
Anyway, if you must switch to another provider, which again I don't exactly know what your use case is, you may want to have a look at AWS.

The talk of re-enabling/disabling Cloudflare tells me something.
What method are you using to configure Cloudflare?
Is this a nameserver change method or something else from your server/hosting provider?
Nameserver change.

Cloud flare should be able to work with whichever site you have

Cloudflare is compatible with any website as it's plugged with DNS, nothing better than Cloudflare exists imo
