I think the clip vs flare comes down to personal feelings.
I have a friend with a big KTM ADV that actually rides it off-road most of the time that has a clip master link - many miles no issues. I heard of a clip coming off a friend's motocross bike years ago - don't know if the clip was installed right or what displacement the bike was or how beat up it was. Bam! my feelings are set in stone at that moment, lol.
I like the fiddly process of flaring, I trust my work, and I have all the tools so that's what I did.
