Doesn't Flash-the-creation-tool live on as Adobe Animate? It supports HTML5 export now, so the death of Flash-the-browser-plugin shouldn't be an issue.

The HTML5 backends are garbage. The workflow isn't streamlined like SWF and none of the Actionscript ecosystem carries over. Adobe just doesn't care about the product anymore.

You're better off using any of the game frameworks with HTML5 export, but from an accessibility standpoint, those are still a notch above Flash.
