I would love to see Flash/Gnash support on Commons, but as far as I know, it isn't currently in the development pipeline (and as you said, their is still lingering cultural resistance to anything Flash-related, despite the emergence of projects like GPLFlash and Gnash). If you want to use Flash for uploads in the meantime, you can set-up an uploading front-end on the toolserver. I have a Flash-based uploading front-end for Commons on there myself that I use for doing multi-file uploads.
