How are so many sites OK with using cloudflare when they are basically a MITM?
It is, but for a different issue.
Every CA you trust can create certificates for every site. If you trust the e.g. NSA CA, they can create a certificate for gmail.com and put a MITM between you and gmail.
The EU is planning to force browsers to add their backdoor CA

What can one use to have a temporary 15tb of cloud storage?
- Buy 2 20 TB disks and put them in an old PC you have lying around.
- Create a ZFS mirror on that PC
- transfer the data to that PC
- create your ZFS array in your server and transfer the data back
- use the PC with the 20 TB mirror as backup system
