Does navidrome support Chromecast? I've had a hard time finding a self hosted music solution that will actual cast. I do have a public facing domain name with certs that, as far as I can tell, is working correctly.

It depends on the client app you use. Some support it, some don't.
Not sure about navidrome, but if it supports upnp, you could setup a bubbleupnp server to bridge the two.
I know the main topic is ditching Spotify, but on the secondary topic of screwing over Spotify...
I realized that you can "pirate" Spotify (i.e. listen indefinitely as if you had a paid account) if you have uBlock Origin on Edge. No setup needed, it just works. Most likely any Chromium-like browser will work.
Unfortunately, I haven't got it to work with Zen browser which is Firefox based so I'm not sure if all Firefox based browsers are affected. The workaround I have for now is just have Edge open with Spotify in the background, and control it from the Spotify interface on Zen. Never download the app, they control that fully.
Funnily enough, I also got ad-free Spotify play on Amazon Echo when I was controlling it from Edge, though I never tried with Zen because I don't use Echo anymore.
PS: For audiophiles this is probably not gonna fly, as you don't have access to the highest bit rates iirc.

All this work needs to pass the wife test. That is why I just hack the android version of Spotify.
What other options exist other than cloudflare?
I wish I was the kind of person who would do this.
