The flexible ductwork is already insulated by its design. It also provides a vapor barrier. You would not want to add an additional layer of insulation that would add another vapor barrier that could trap moisture between the two vapor barriers. It would also make it difficult to detect an air leak in the duct. Any benefit would be minimal. I would not do it.
