So it seems... Even https://cloudflare.com/ itself is down

So cloudflare.com runs on Cloudflare?

Turtles all the way down.

But in all frankness, if Cloudflare's own site did not run off of Cloudflare's infrastructure, why would anybody trust them with their websites?

So what should the ideal redundancy plan be here? If you can't log into the CDN provider and they are down do you you just have a second one ready (and paid for) and then log into your registrar and be ready to switch to that secondary CDN provider in this scenario? Or is there some sort of load balancing / routing solution between CDN's that I don't know about / understand?

If you use Cloudflare nameservers, you have to change to new nameservers, wait for that to propogate, and then wait for clients cached records TTLs to expire. So it will be a major disruption no matter what you do.
