If CloudFlare is similar to Akamai's solution, recursive servers never
see the CNAME record. Instead, when the auth server receives the
query
for the A record of the apex, it performs its own query for the CNAME,
and returns the result of this.
In other words, if your theory is correct,

Some nameservers can setup that, though it's breaking the RFC.

This comes up a lot, it seems.
No. CNAME conflicts with any other record - including the SOA and NS
records required at the apex.
You will have to put an A record at the apex.

The zone is a tree. The records at the apex of the zone are those with
the same name as the zone - normally the SOA, NS, MX, and other records.
Since all zones must have a SOA
I don't know what you mean by that. Apex of what exactly - my zone
file? Can you tell me exactly what the zone file should look like
with the CNAME record at the apex?
Determine the address(es) for the target domain name
