The main challenges I have had with Flatpak is that for any apps that need to integrate with other components (e.g. I want my VS Code to use the same Node that I run from the Terminal) things get flaky. Its not so much that Flatpak does not support that kind of integration, but that many apps are not properly configured when packaged to take advantage of FP's integration features.... End result is still a poor user experience. Moral of the story: don't just shove your code in a Flatpak and call it a day! Take the time to do it right.
