Interesting, thanks. I was put off flexis by the cost, the fact that you couldn't actually flex them reliably, the short lifespan due to delamination, and the single incident I heard of a damaged panel suffering a short which sent the sunbrella underneath up in flames.Yes, old panels in the old days used to have issues and people keep moaning about those issues with older panels despite it being a solved problem. ETFE panels do not suffer those issues and were specifically developed to prevent them. I have seen zero reports of ETFE panels suffering those problems, if you have other information you'll need to show specific panels with those issues and confirm they are ETFE. If not, stop moaning!
Clearly the technology has moved on though to address at least some of these issues.
