I'm running a website that is getting a lot of bot traffic and found Cloudflare free rule tier to be a bit limiting. (5 custom rules with length limits)

Ive got subnets for major VPS providers to block and will run analysis against my traffic to build on these lists.

What do others do?

I'm contemplating my Cloudflared tunnel into Crowdsec to my app.

Edit: Adding in image of my analysis of the IPs scanning for vulnerabilities.

Just don't run broken software. The attackers will not be able to exploit you then. If they have zero day exploits, the WAF will most of the time not save you since they are often pretty easy to circumvent. WAFs are only effective against old and shitty exploits that should be patched anyways since ages.

I'd rather not have them probing my website at all. I'm not Facebook, my data is not unlimited and free.

Welcome to the internet. You will be probed. Just as your immune system, or rather your body, is being probed.
