My wish is that when a2 is imposed as default, no android program will cause a flash
Are you sure? You say that out of experience or as a prediction?
I personally have no problem with Grayscale Update mode's visual effect.

Current EPD screens certainly are less apt for production when used as monitors, if compared to standards.
Anyway, I don't think you could use the Icarus/Boyue as a monitor (by software limitations, not just because it's small or because you do not have a dithered A2).
I have it, I am not satisfied. In fact, the only occasions I had used it, after testing, is sometimes, seldom, as a web browser. And the absence of hardware keys meant a lot of slinging calibrated in measured gestures to contrast the momentum. Not to mention that the lack of a dithering implementation degrades the experience when scrolling etc., when switch to A2 is forced.

And CPU wise, you can get better than the RK3188 of the Icarus/Boyue. I am immensely glad that Onyx went for the RK3288 for the Max2. The difference is: "some" difference vs. "marked" difference.
