In this article from Cloudflare, IP rotation is mentioned as a way to protect web servers. How does that work? Is this the same as ordinary load-balancing with failover, or something else?

No, IP rotation doesn't work for web servers. Public web sites need to expose something to be accessible, likely a load balancer or proxy in front of web servers.
Cloudflare meant to contrast it with their origin hiding HTTP2 tunnel. All access is through their security oriented network.
