If it's acceptable for your critical functionality to fail 0.1% of the time in production, then sure, leave it in.

Meh.

Majority of time, in my experience, flaky tests has nothing to do with the software but it is about faulty test infrastructure.

There's difference between a flakey test and test failing due to randomly failing feature. They're not always the same thing. The test failing does not necessarily mean the feature doesn't work.
