Negatory. Subdomain CNAMEs can point to domain names. They can also be a completely different IPs.
"jellyfin" is a cname that points to my domain. So jellyfin.domain.tld would resolve to my public IP. This allows you to have multiple services listening on the same port since the reverse proxy would direct traffic to the proper destination based on the subdomain used. This also allows you to change how Cloudflare handles each subdomain. Whether DNS only or proxying. If you used subPATHs you wouldn't be able to do this. Like domain.tld/jellyfin.
