I think you would want to find a new form factor to really utilise the flexibility. I feel like this is now just a flimsy arduino where you can't really explore the flexibility.

Like using horizontal connectors or even have connectors for flex cables

I think that's a really good point. Why would you need the board to be flexible and is the way it is designed now making that use possible?

E.g. if someone wanted to put it into a small pipe, could you roll it as it is now? Don't think so. Do you want to have it wrap around a corner, that might work.
