Though I’m not a big fan of centralization, I use cloudflare. Their DDoS protection is unmatched, they have scraping protection, and just in case they decide to screw their users over, switching to another service is trivial.
Basically they work as a bouncer in front of your website and stop all the undesirables getting in. I.e. AI scrapers. Also if somebody decides they want to try and hack you or otherwise cause problems the bouncer beats them up and you never have to hear about it.
If you use a VPN the bouncer is very suspicious of you and you have to jump through all sorts of hoops to get in, which is why some people don’t like websites using it. Unfortunately there isn’t really a solution since there are a lot of illegitimate uses for having a VPN connection as well, so you have to be suspicious of them.

I can stop drinking whenever I want.
If switching is trivial, why not do it now?
Is it? Try switching and see how often you are DDoSed.
