Hi,
Just to clarify things:

Explicit flush takes place only when the device is idle:
if fWriteBoosterBufferFlushEn is set, the device is idle, and before h8 received.
If a request arrives, the flush operation should be halted.
So no performance degradation is expected.

The spec says: " While the flushing operation is in progress, the device is in Active power mode"
