I have never heard of any problems with the flex plate nor do I know of any weakness with it. By design, its not "really" under alot of stress. The Flex plate is bolted to the crankshaft and performs two duties. The outside ring is for the starter to turn the motor over with. The second is that there is three or four (my guess is 4) bolts that connect it to the torque converter and spins it on the tranny input shaft. You might want to ask the user Chad. I think he had a flex plate noise, but if memory serves me right it was dues to loose converter bolts. Anyone else had flex plate failure??
