Appears to be Hetzner for now, wouldn't be surprised if all VPS get affected eventually.

They removed that clause. Ctrl-f "video" on their ToS page gives 0 results

You're looking in the wrong place. That page is the generic terms of service that applies to all services, whereas the limitation on video is in the CDN-specific terms of service: https://www.cloudflare.com/service-specific-terms-application-services/. Of course they don't ban video in the generic terms of service, as it'd result in video being banned from their video streaming service :)

I've heard that tunnels have a similar restriction since it uses the same infrastructure, but I can't find the specific clause for it at the moment.

Fair, although you're probably fine for "hosting jellyfin for your family" levels even then. If cloudflare boots you, swap to a free tier Oracle Cloud VPS and set up an nginx proxy.
