The use of Flash is becoming less of a problem because the major browsers are going to drop support for Flash at the end of 2020 so most reputable sites are working on alternatives.
A Chrome book is a good alternative to a full Windows laptop.
The only use case for Chromebooks which is still a problem is if you need installable software such a TurboTax or Quicken. The vendors may now have cloud based versions of their products but I have never used them this way.
I would recommend you hold off a while and see how many times you need to pull out your old laptop and for what purpose. There may be browser based options.
