Wile I disagree with skipping the code reviews, one main advantage of the feature flag part of the strategy is you don't have to constantly rebase and your code goes through a production ready code review. Feature flags may not feel right, but they minimize risk spectacularly, which is the ultimate goal that any solution should put first. The use of the word "feature" is misleading to me and makes it sound like they should be used for new features only and not changes or rewrites of brittle code.

Once that you are forced to put your (small) changes to production all the time, you will start thinking about backwards compatibility in a whole new way. It's not about feature flags, it's about shipping constantly and knowing after each step if you've made a mistake or not. To me personally, this method is a huge pill against headaches.
