In terms of video, I think that point is coming much sooner than later. Look at the rash of announcements from sites starting to offer HTML5 video around the time of the iPad launch. Facebook just started offering H264 streaming for iPhone OS devices. I think within the next 6 months lack of Flash will cease to mean much of anything for iDevice users who want to watch video.
Games are a different story; if there's a Flash game that's incredibly compelling and you can't find a version of it (or a close analog) in the App Store, I guess you're out of luck.
For sites that simply don't function without Flash and don't have a fallback, ditto. (Though I'd suggest contacting the site owners and tell them that They're Doin It Wrong.)
