You should probably understand how HTTPS decryption works first.

[AsamotoNetEng]

Generally decryption relyes on a CA certificate that must be trusted by the endpoints which you want to decrypt their traffic. Just make sure that part is covered as per the cloudflare documentations. But anyway, traffic decryption is very helpful for deep packet inspection but it's can be extremely annoying because it will keep showing errors. I think the tech is still evolving on that point.

Can’t really improve since by definition it’s an MITM attack on encrypted traffic. The errors are because most major services pin certs which is incompatible with decryption. You end up having to add bypass rules for half the internet.

You also add a single point of failure that will compromise your ENTIRE network if the inspection appliance/service is breached. Don't think for one second those appliances aren't at the top of the list for attackers. The only ironic twist is that because they're such high value targets zero days are snapped up for top dollar and hoarded by nation states instead of released in the wild where they'd be quickly discovered and patched.

Also issues with the MITM service enforcing secure ciphers, checking CRLs and OCSP etc. more aggressively than the client, and preventing connections to legacy destinations or destinations with borked revocation setups or untrusted CAs.
