If you're just now looking in to GAE, you should likely be using Cloud Run instead. My company is busily migrating everything there and reaping the benefits.

So, this what scares me: in 5 years someone using GAE would be busy with two migrations: classic GAE -> flexible GAE -> and now cloud run?..

Converting (it's more of a conversion than a migration) from flexible GAE to cloud run is super easy, check out the conversion tool I posted in my previous comment.
Basically, your code shouldn't really need to change at all, it's really just your deployment scripts and configs that need to be updated. At their heart flexible GAE and cloud run are both just running Docker containers.

GAE Flex is super old at this point and I've never personally met someone who migrated between them (they're pretty different offerings imho). Moving between either GAE to Run has been pretty seamless though.
I run a NodeJS GraphQL server in App Engine Flexible, and it is basically just like running it in a Docker container. It's also pretty trivial to run in Google Cloud Run if I so desired, there is even a tool to assist: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/app-engine-cloud-run-...
