Not quite, the author himself states that other formats are better for lossy photo compression than lossy flif. The advantage of flif ist great 100% lossless mode, no generation loss when lossy, and it doesn't care that much for image content while other formats are tuned for photgraphy and not for example diagrams.
However, for one-time compression of photographic content, bpg (hevc base) is the best atm, but burdened by patents ... webp (vp8-based) has a very competent lossy-lossless mode and will get supercharged once it's upgraded to av1 base.
