Yes, I believe that to be case-- CAPTCHAs are supposed to thwart script kiddies from creating bots which would do something on a website repeatedly to reap the benefits in an unfair way.

A proof of work and get paid for doing the effort of doing the cloudflare thingy is a good idea. I think that is what you want. Instead of forcing users whom are not spamming the the network into subservient life.
