#4Google has reduced the free tier limit for reCAPTCHA v3 from 1 million down to 10,000 assessments per month as part of its mandatory migration to Google Cloud. [1] So basically it's NOT a viable anti-spam mechanism for many use cases any more because that 10k asessment is easily breached. Let alone the fact that you can't use recaptcha v3 unless you signs up for Google Cloud as well.
Cloudflare Turnstile is a valid alternative though. [2]

If I hit something like that I am just gonna close the tab and move on with my day.
If it's something really important then I am going to very loudly complain to their support until I can bypass it.

Exactly. You can do it entirely with Cloudflare.
Even if you limit yourself to what's available on the free tier, there's a surprisingly wide range of things you can build.
