Cant speak for flat mount but my post mount spyres have been excellent the last few years. Plenty of bite if set up correctly.
What pads/levers/housing are you using?

Shimano 105 STIs 5800
Trp Road Compressionless housing
swapped the original spyre pads out for sintered which are better but still rubbish- Yeh appreciating the bedding in thing and know that will improve, but it feels much more like a lever travel issue, the bite point is so far through the travel it feels weird.
We have a couple of bikes in the shop I work in with spyres as stock and its the same problem on those. I've set it up by preloading the actuating arm before clamping the cable and that helps a bit but still not great

Been messing around with these spyres and not impressed, anyone know of a flat mount cable disc brake that has a bit of bite?
In comparison My bb7 road on the cotic is great but no flat mount option
