Max, if it was going to be problem, I'm pretty sure you would already know and have a big ol' gelled mess on your hands. If that hasn't happened, I think I would leave the flush until next time you change out your water pump or coolant tank, or do some other work on your cooling system.

What I would do is test the freeze point to make sure that you are adequately protected down to the -35 to -40 range and then call it a day.
You should also be aware that gelation problems do not necessarily happen instantly, but often require both heat and circulation to form over a period of time.
