I think your main problem is just trying to go for faint galaxies during a full moon!
I had a 30 second go in photoshop just with curves and levels and still managed to extract this, so you are getting plenty of data.
Clean that chip, take flats and get out when the moon is gone and I think you will get some impressive images.
If you have to choose between getting good flats or darks with the QHY8, go for the flats, the darks are less important on that camera IMHO.
