If you register a domain with Cloudflare or Route 53, and that service goes down, do your records stay active in the DNS servers? What if the DNS servers go down, I know a lot of people use 8.8.8.8, so if Google’s server goes down, then DNS fails?

What are the potential point of failures for having your own domain?

    Thanks for the detailed explanation! I made a domain on Route 53 recently, but I’m trying to migrate it to NameCheap so I can do DDNS through my Unifi UDM SE as I think I’d need to set up a lambda function to get DDNS working through a script for Route 53. Would rather have it integrated into the router os if possible. Do you have a static IP or are you using DDNS?
