I just think that the primary job of a flag is to be identifiable while flapping in the wind at the top of a flag pole, ie being a flag. If you can’t instantly tell what the flag is while it’s being a flag it’s failed it’s task.
I have no issue with coats of arms in general, but they’re not designed to do the job of a flag, they work when painted on buildings or on letter heads or any other static decoration.
