Haven't worked with Cloudflare yet first hand, and I'm not familiar with web map tech. But if the site really is pretty much just serving lots of static files, why is Hetzner in the loop? Wouldn't fully migrating to Cloudflare Pages be possible?

The tiles need to be rendered. Yes frequent tiles can be cached but you already have a cache… it’s Cloudflare. Theoretically you could port the tileserver to Cloudflare pages but then you’d need to… port it… and it probably wouldn’t be cheaper
