One perk that someone told me about is that you can use your domain to get around not having a static IP (because the DNS will compensate).

If I were to get a Cloudflare domain name then what would be some other pros and cons?

    Correct. I used NOIP for years until I realized that 1) my IP address is static and 2) my home IP address was being exposed. (Pretty obvious I know but sometimes I am slow on the uptake 😃)

    My solution was to get a $5 per month vps and reverse proxy and reverse ssh tunnels.

    The $5 / month VPS ($60/year) was pretty much the cost of NOIP per year to use custom domains.
