Once we do colonize the solar system I'm sure invidual moons of giant planets will play a larger role than the actual planets. So I don't see this working in the future.

The only future we can truly expect, aside from total annihilation and reset of the planet, would be a total colonization of the solar system.

It's still where we as mankind originated and seems somewhat appropriate. However, maybe that's short sighted and we will get a very anti-earth separatist movement from the colonies.
But, if it is to be a "flag for planet earth", it would not need encompass colonies on other worlds, and it wouldn't be the goal of such a flag to do so. If, as someone else suggested, the right idea is a flag for humanity, then your argument works.
Why not? if Mars is colonized then there be 2 white dots on this flag (not sure why the moon is white)

It looks quite good actually
