Analytics is more accurate for some weird reason cloudflare will show more traffic

when someone go to a website which uses Cloudflare the users send a request to Cloudflare which it's all info like IP user-agent and such other. so it doesn't even matter if the user using extensions like script blocker or other js blockers.
Cloudflare will know that someone has visited your site.
Unlike GA that is based on js, in addition
Cloudflare also counts the users who tried to access the site and left before the site was fully loaded aka "Bounce rate".
And if the site is not fully loaded then the GA neither loads nor counts the visitor.

Same here. My conclusion was that GA is filtering out users that Cloudflare is not.
You will find exactly this with all platforms, Mixpanel, Clicky... Just stick to the one you like the most. Unless there are huge differences and you are just trialing because of a failure in the configs/cache or whatever.

GA is more accurate of course.
It is counting "real" visitors. Or at least trying to.
However cloudflare is counting everything. Most of the times these traffic never actually reach your website.
Keep in mind that you can block GA if you are browsing normally. So you might have visitors blocking the tracking of GA and other tracking codes.
But these visits have no information so it won't help you much.
That's why only GA is reliable because the data in GA can have value and meaning.

I also think that, cause at the end of the day we need to get ranked on Google

Exactly.
I would stay away from cloudflare free package though.
It is slowing down your website and killing your traffic.
