A Content-Type header is applicable to a response with a body per RFC 2616:
When an entity-body is included with a message, the data type of that
body is determined via the header fields Content-Type and Content-

The decisive factors here are isolation and the principle of least privilege. If the account used for the website has access to the database containing the customer records, any compromise on the website is automatically a compromise on the customer records, too.

This is making a prepared statement. It won't sanitize the inputs. At a low level, it's probably using the sqlite c api, and it would look something like:
stmnt = sqlite3_prepare("INSERT INTO table (e1, e2) VALUES(?, ?)")
sqlite3_bind_int(stmnt,0,V1)
sqlite3_bind_blob(stmnt,1,V1)
while((row = sqlite3_step(stmnt) != SQLITE_DONE){
//do something ...

Cloudflare is essentially a reverse proxy which might also cache content. If the content is then actually served from the cache or if the request is passed through the origin server can be influenced by the server itself through the use of standard Cache-Control HTTP headers.

It is not safe.
Simply port forwarding internet traffic to an application running in your local network essentially exposes your full internal network to some attacker in case of a bug in the application. And bugs are likely. If the server application is instead located at some hosting provider on the public internet it will not have access to your internal ...
