No, Ditch flash. If the Livestreamers start losing out because Twitch doesn't want to go 100% HTML5, then they should be the ones to protest and push Twitch to upgrade their service for the sake of their viewers. Viewers don't have a voice, but Streamers do. Streamers can be influenced by Viewers. You're not hurting the Streamers if you are trying to protect yourself. Streamers will understand, if they don't, they probably are not worth watching/supporting.
Maybe for major streamers, but I watch the nobodies that just barely have gotten a subscriber button and Twitch would absolutely not care if they were gone. I'd only be hurting guys who are doing this for fun or are just starting to make it a career and I feel like it's wrong to punish them for something they can't control.
I'm honestly not even sure what exactly is the problem with Flash. Every article I've read gives a bunch of panic warnings, but doesn't give any information on what the vulnerabilities actually are or how hackers could use that information.
Minor streamers you can follow from the GUI. And they will still get the view that they need in order to grow. It is a good thing that they are not specifically pointing out the weaknesses of flash, in order to minimize usage of said weakness. You do what you feel is best, but Flash is bound to die sooner rather than later.

I completely agree.
