As a motorist I hate it when cyclists use ONLY flashing lights on

As driver and pedestrian I don't mind if bicycles don't have lights when
they are ridden under streetlamps.

Yes, I hate flashing lights too. On the bike I will only have a flashing
light under streetlamps or on unlit roads if I also have a steady light.
The flashing light will be the weaker of the two.
