    Is there any downside to only allowing TLSv1.3 in nginx if behind CloudFlare?

    Nginx 1.31.x
    MariaDB 10.x/11.4+/12.3+
    Not all clients support TLSv1.3 so you'd want TLSv1.2 + TLSv1.3 supported

    I planned to leave TLSv1.2 as the minimum in CloudFlare settings but shouldn't CloudFlare connect to my server via TLSv1.3 always anyways?

    Yeah with Cloudflare Full or Full Strict SSL enabled (not Flexible SSL), Cloudflare will connect to your Centmin Mod Nginx origin via TLSv1.3 if Centmin Mod Nginx supports it which it does in 123.09beta01 and newer versions at least.
