idk, feature flags for the entire application seem ok to me.
The issue is when we want to add feature flags for part of the users, or only on a part of the application flow. Then it will become a mess.
Where I work, those feature flags are used to deploy a feature for a single application "run time", i.e. a country, which has its own cloud and everything.

Tried feature flags, but it ended up being a mess. Went back to dev/master branches with automated tests between them using standard GitHub workflows.
The mess is what I‘m concerned about—I don’t want to introduce new complexity if I can avoid it.

BTW have you read the article on feature flags on Fowler's website? Could help you form some opinions https://martinfowler.com/articles/feature-toggles.html
