What's the point of a reverse proxy and does cloudflare give all the benefits of one? (sh.itjust.works)

Yes, typically the proxy will listen on 443/80 and all the services it proxies to just use their defaults.

For example: emby.example.tld, port 443 > cloudflare, port 443 > your reverse proxy, port 443 > emby, port 8096

All the client sees is emby.example.tld on port 443 and the resulting web application, everything in between is transparent.
