It's been a while since I've thought of Gitflow but at one time it was certainly better than some competing alternatives (which used source control tools like SVN or TFS). Ultimately I think was sucked about Gitflow wasn't the complicated source control strategy but the underlying "we do five releases a year" model. It's SO MUCH EASIER to work small and deploy to production when your feature/update/fix is ready, and adopting microservices makes it easier to deploy in a way that won't step on anyone else in the process.
