I thought CF workers could be self-hosted? I haven't tried that system but saw Kenton Varda tweeting about running them locally for development.

Yes, the Cloudflare Workers Runtime is open source: https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd

You can definitely run workerd in production on your own machines and some people do.

The biggest catch is that workerd's implementation of Durable Objects currently doesn't work across multiple machines, but I'm working on fixing that: https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd/pull/6780
