Cannot get Obsidian publish to work with a custom domain

What I’m trying to do

Make my own domain work with Publish mydomain(dot)com not www(dot)mydomain(dot)com (that should redirect to mydomain(dot)com)

I followed all the instructions. I have received nothing but errors and problems out of Cloudflare and they don’t offer support unless you get a $20 per month account (2.5x the cost of Publish itself).

Things I have tried

I followed the instructions exactly.

Cloudflare has a warning indicating a CNAME should not be used for a a root domain (domain(dot)com vs. subdomain(dot)domain(dot)com) but there is no clear alternative option. I don’t want www(dot)domain(dot)com I want domain(dot)com for my default site. CNAME flattening · Cloudflare DNS docs

Is there a mistake in the instructions? help.obsidian.md/Obsidian+Publish/Set+up+a+custom+domain
