I've seen multiple home inspections flag this as something to replace immediately.
I don't believe you.
Why would I make that up? Like I said I'm not a plumber, I don't know the code. I'm just trying to help you out. Doing it right is just a little bit harder for a lot better end product.
Link to a home inspector on flex pipe and code
"Flexible pipes are not code compliant because they collect dirt and grime that's supposed to flow down the drain. The zigzag sides make it easy for water slow-down, which results in more gunk collecting further along toward your home’s plumbing system. Code requires smooth drain surfaces so that water flows without restriction."

It's doing it different, not "right." Every city/county/state has different codes for plumbing. Maybe in most cases it isn't totally up to code but it still works. I've had it for two years. No issues. If I need to end up buying standard PVC then fine, I'll worry about it then.
I don't see why stores would sell the stuff if it automatically fails as part of any home inspection. There's no incentive to sell the stuff if that's the case.
