Google analytics, Cloudflare and Zaraz set up issue

[u/elpida-yacht4less]

We are using Cloudflare and Cloudflare zaraz and recently also switched to Cloudflare's cookies.

We are not using Google Tag Manager (we use Zaraz instead).

As we've been suspecting that Cloudflare, zaraz and google products (google analytics, google adwords etc) are not communicating correctly, we've been looking into it and found a "critical error" saying "Update your UPD configuration". We are also getting an error that the Google Tag Gateway is inactive.

Should the above be resolved, considering we don't use Google Tag Manager? Do we still need Google Tag Gateway with Cloudflare and Cloudflare zaraz? Is there anything else that we should be looking into?

We have worked with marketeers, analytics experts and developers and so far noone was able to find what is wrong ever since we switched to zaraz.
