Executive summary: add Flow discussions to pages with {{#useFlow:1}}.
I don't like this idea. We should be moving away from storing metadata in wikitext and hacky parser functions and not adding more of them.
Sure, there are other ways to implement "This wikitext page should show Flow topics" (e.g. a Page property). I mentioned LQT's implementation because I'm familiar with the way LQT allows a hybrid page (example https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/User_talk:Yair_rand)
ContentHandler currently has some bugs because it really hasn't been tested outside of Wikidata, but I believe most of those are short-term issues and that it is the best way to integrate Flow into normal MediaWiki pages.
Are you supporting my idea of a hybrid page but disagreeing with the implementation, or preferring the current "disruptive" switch to content model=flow-board?
