As far as I understood it: the premise of added security is based on the fact that the other WebRTC peers only see Cloudflare's IP instead of your own. Also nobody knows who you are exactly talking to except Cloudflare. I would still expect that the media channels itself still remain encrypted when even when multiplexed by Cloudflare's network.

edit, yes it's encrypted:

> Finally, all video and audio traffic that passes through Cloudflare Calls is encrypted by default. Calls leverages existing Cloudflare products including Argo to route the video and audio content in a secure and efficient manner.

It doesn't say that Cloudflare can't or doesn't access the encrypted data. It seems to be written in a way that everyone would assume they can't but AFAICT it doesn't explicitly say it. Which makes me think they phrased it like this for a reason but I definitely could be wrong.
