Amino – The Public IPFS DHT Is Getting a Facelift
There are a few client options; the most widely used one (to my knowledge) is https://github.com/ipfs/kubo for CLI. There's also a desktop client that's pretty nice: https://docs.ipfs.tech/install/ipfs-desktop/

DockerHub replacement stratagy and options
To be honest, this project aside, it's pretty cool and not to bad to get started with. On desktop, I would recommend the aptly named ipfs-desktop if you just want to try it out and get a good glance at all of the features. On android the ipfs-lite app is pretty straight forward though nowhere near the view into features the desktop app provides.

Drop in Cloudflare Replacement
IPFS does serve traffic directly, and faster than through Cloudflare; if you run a local node. It accomplishes this by pre-caching content related to the content you access. So it is a bit network heavy. But I've been using it for about a year and the speed just can't be beat.

Can someone explain to me the benefits of using a dedicated IPFS gateway for file sharing?
An IPFS node is a software that can communicate using the IPFS protocol. For example, Go IPFS, JS IPFS, IPFS Desktop (which may use Go IPFS in the background) and IPFS Companion (which may use JS IPFS in the background).
