[Koha] Cloudflare setup

As I mentioned a while back, I've set up Anubis on our Koha
server. But I read yesterday that AI bots from Huawei now
meet the Anubis challenge, and it's only a matter of time
before other bots do, too.
In case Anubis isn't able to handle this problem, I may need to move our
library to Cloudflare. I've seen some tutorials from ByWater about
this, but we don't use ByWater and their tutorials seem to be saying,
"Trust us, we'll fix everything except for a few DNS changes you need
to make." So was hoping to hear from some non-ByWater Koha users who
use Cloudflare.
I understand that using Cloudflare means changing the server's IP
address and fiddling with DNS. Although I'm not in control of
our domain's DNS, I can probably train the guy who is in control
to do the right thing.
But I'm uncertain about what needs to be done for SIP2 access. We
have enabled SIP2 so that things like Kanopy can look up patrons. But
it's not clear to me what I'd need to do for SIP2 after the switch to
Cloudflare. Is it just a DNS change or is there something more I need
to do?
Thanks in advance for help with this and with any other issues I'm
not aware of.
