According to Google AI, it's 56252. You might wish to change the Allow rule name from Imgur to something generic, like 'Allow,' so it's labeled better. Ours has all the explicit allowed traffic for other AS numbers, like GoogleBot 15169 and user-agent Googlebot-Image, if you're wanting them to get through too.
On topic though...
With CF blocking most of everything bad via WAF rules, we still have our .htaccess in place with bad_bots, country code and IP blocks. Plus, we use SpIdErPiGgY's honeypot-blackhole modification too. All these systems work well together, but we prefer to identify stuff that .htaccess or honeypot are blocking (finding) and creating new CF WAF content to block that stuff before it hits our Web host (i.e. our .htaccess). That eliminates a lot of requests that won't even get 403 errors from our host.
