Everytime I read about new things from Cloudflare they look really cool but I cannot shake the feeling of not wanting to use them for fear of lock-in, am I too paranoid?

  This is 100% open source and self-hostable.

  It runs on top of our open source runtime.

    Can I host outside Cloudflare?

    No it uses cloudflare primitives

    Incorrect. You can host it on workerd on your own servers. No Cloudflare required.

    Don’t the docs say running on wrangler is not for production use? Or am I missing something?

    wrangler is a development tool. You wouldn't want to run dev mode in production.
    But workerd can be used directly without wrangler, and is production-capable in that format.
    Unfortunately we did not have time to put together example configs for this before launch (I wish we could have delayed, it was out of my hands), but we will be doing so soon.
    Mentioned in the readme here:
