1) Are folks seeing any situations where corporations are disabling Flash

I have not come across that situation with any of my clients
2) We have read that certain browsers (e.g. IE 10) have prevented users from
upgrading Flash. Is this correct? If so, what is the minimal recommended
Flash Player version (our last release targeted 11.3) ?
I am unsure on this one.
Chrome integrates with Flash using the Pepper API which is a new
plugin architecture. As such, I do not believe the user can upgrade the
version; it has to come from Google.
I believe that the "IE Metro" version does not allow for plugins, but
it has flash built in, so is "plugin free". Any updates to this have to
come from Microsoft. The desktop version of IE supports plugins as usual.
[Others answered question 3and 4 better than I would have]
5) Are we insane to be thinking about building a new application in Flex
today?
It sounds like you are in the sweet spot where Flex still makes
sense. You don't care about running in mobile browsers; and have a lot
of in-house skill on the platform. I'd say go for it.
