I share OP's general statement. I've been using Flask and Django on and off for near a decade.
When deciding between Flask and Django, I look at the following requirements:
User accounts
Object Relational Manager
Database Migrations
User registration/social authentication
Admin Site
As a general rule of thumb if my project is going to need 3 or more of these things I just go with Django.
You CAN do all of that with Flask, but you end up wiring together a bunch of third party dependencies just to end up with what Django would have provided you out of the box.
