a non-disc hub will result in a less flexy wheel due to the greater flange spacing

The extra flange spacing, if any*, is on the NDS where there's already plenty on a disc hub. Deleting the rotor mount doesn't do anything for the DS where the actual problem lies.

*e.g. FH-M785 (disc) and FH-T780 (non-disc) have the same dimensions

Is that how it works? I thought that the wider triangle base makes a "stronger" wheel even if one side is still at a dodgy angle. Well, good to know anyway.

Yep. The weakest link is the problem.
