I think you are seriously underestimating how common baseline alignment is with horizontal flexboxes.  Controls in dialogs are all baseline-aligned in XUL.  In Apple's uses of flexbox in our products, horizontal boxes are also typically baseline aligned.  This is basic behavior and is an absolute requirement.

A flexing textfield or dropdown list with a corresponding label is a common example of where you need baseline alignment.
