Doing more than 9 books would be overkill, so assuming she's stopping there:

The 9th book can't conclude the ship wars, it needs to be dedicated to tying alllllllll the threads together and finishing the series, the ship wars will be heavily resolved in the 8th book is what it's looking like to me. Also, Keefe's emotions seem like they're about to come to a head and we're going to have to read about all those next book, those two things STRONGLY hint to me that Keefe's emotions will be dealt with and Fitzphie will come through.

Flashback is not just a conflict, it's literally soaked in Fitzphie. It's not conflicting at all, it's just Fitzphie and Keefe seeming to suck it up once or twice. That's not conflict. It was in Nightfall because Sophie was strongly one way and Keefe was strongly the other, it conflicted with the main flow of the series. Fitzphie is the main flow of the series, thus it's not adding conflict to the story, and it would be a waste to add Flashback if it's not building up to Fitzphie becoming canon. The fact it had virtually ZERO anti-Fitzphie in it is what would make it a waste if Fitzphie is overthrown, because you don't see any foreshadowing or overthrowing begininng. Sokeefe would be pretty much out of no where.

I honestly don't know if this makes any sense to someone with a different perspective, if it doesn't, I'm sorry, I tried to explain it well.
