CachyOS looks really good, and I want to try it. But what’s the effect of being sponsored by cloudflare? Is it FOSS? Does it collect data? What’s Cloudflare getting out of the sponsorship?

Big companies use FOSS themselves, it makes sense for them to fund it. By being FOSS, they get to benefit from third party contributions for free.
This kinda also help ensuring the projects don’t turn to crap from lack of maintenance.
Companies often sponsor FOSS projects, especially if they use them internally. It doesn’t mean Cloudflare has any access to data from it.
I mean they also sponsored Let’s Encrypt, but nothing nefarious came of it
Clownflare is trash, but I wouldn’t worry too much about it in this particular case.
They’re fighting against AI scrapers, are objectively one of the best CDN providers and they offer a quite decent DNS resolver service. I wouldn’t call them trash.
They also force you to hand over all traffic, including https by MITMing it. Unless you have the enterprise license.
