I think Cloudflare project get Cloudflare certs while other sites that you host get the universal SSL cert

Yeah they do Let's encrypt for pages. I think older products have Cloudflare certs. You can't change which CA you get issues by.

Do you mean the fact that their root cert expired?

I mean as long as your clients updated their CA cert then they are fine.

Yeah but all OS's and browsers had updates that support the new cert so as long as clients are up to date then it works fine

Backup certs are there incase something happens to your universal cert. It is a redundancy feature.
You can always change your universal CA issuer to Digicert but Cloudflare is phasing out digicert as a provider

That's a Cloudflare one
Also if you have business impact I would look at Advanced Certificate: https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/edge-certificates/advanced-certificate-manager
There is also the undocumented API call: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/how-to-switch-from-lets-encrypt-universal-edge-ssl-to-digicert/317852/2

Cloudflare wants to encrypt as much web traffic as possible to prevent data theft and other tampering. We are the first Internet performance and security company to offer free SSL/TLS protection.
I believe ACM is $10/month per zone
