What do you use to layout your pages? Do you still use float/clear? Or do you still use tables for layout? Surely you are not trying to use Flexbox since Flexbox is really only designed for a single vertical or horizontal column of content.

I'm not sure what you are talking about, as you can do responsive grids/columns with Flexbox. E.g. Bootstrap uses flex: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.3/layout/grid/

That is an example of using a screwdriver to drive nails. Flexbox can be perverted to do grid layout, but it's not the right tool for the job and sooner or later you will hurt yourself.
