My team leverages feature flagging heavily. Developers want to clean them up but product doesn't prioritize the tickets, and it creates more burden for QA as well having to do a full regression test.

Sounds like a great reason to include cleanup as part of the initial work.

The issue is not about feature flags then.

It's stakeholders not giving engineers necessary time for upkeep, probably caused by engineers lacking ownership, or failing to communicate

It’s a system where engineers are signing off on work that isn’t actually complete. Which is a problem we had in Waterfall and mostly solved in Agile, except for feature toggles.
