Personally, I very much dislike using CSS classes unless required. I prefer having a clean markup with classes used only where they make sense.

For a context, I somehow can't wrap my head around writing something like:

    <div class="nav nav-inverse nav-hide-xs">
when `<nav>` makes more sense. Sure, if you have a case with alternate "inverse" navbar, go ahead with a class `<nav class="inverse">`.

About the flexbox, ah, well, even now they have undefined behaviour on several elements such as a `fieldset` [1].

These days using "nav" instead of <div class="nav"> is the preferred method by default. The other two classes are just modifiers that may or may not be required. There's nothing wrong with them.

Also, I see "fixed" bug reports in both Chrome and Firefox when using flex with fieldset. To be fair, recent fixes.
