It would add each non-directory member to the archive twice. Was that
intended?

That's even more risky: incremental backups work by comparing directory
contents and metadata with the information stored on a previous run.
It is not a good idea to give individual files as arguments to tar in
incremental mode.
To avoid archiving sockets, I'd suggest creating an exclude list
instead. E.g:
find . -depth -xdev -type s |
tar -C /mnt \
--create --null \
--files-from=- --ignore-failed-read --same-permissions --no-recursion \
--totals --listed-incremental=/mnt/flexbackup/mnt.0.snapshot --level=0 \
--verbose --sparse -b 20 --file /mnt/flexbackup/mnt.0.tar \
--exclude-from - .
