I'll take the predictable and subtractable noise pattern over a variable ghosting impact which will no doubt degrade the stacked end result... We'll see what happens for SII and OIII subs though.
Chris: if you're getting 50 ADU from the flush then that's adding about 8.37e- of shot noise [sqrt(signal*gain)]. That's comparable to the read noise and not insignificant. Unlikely to be an issue for LRGB imaging but it probably will result in a SNR hit with narrowband imaging.

The difference is VERY apparent.

No more lazy-bum autodarks here
Good to hear you're back on the straight and narrow, Lewis
