Yes, of course. Don't make that particular update. Or freeze a virtual machine with flash in it and use that when you want/need.

I'm actually very confused about this. They make it sound like the change will happen automatically, which makes it sound like there's a kill switch of some kind. Is there?

From what people are saying above, Chrome has a date-based kill switch built in - if you set your system clock forward, Flash stops working in the current version.
