My front flex has one small crack that I can see. So I have moved this necessary repair closer to the top of my list of things I gotta do.

I think not.
Unless the disc has significantly deteriorated and allows the driveshaft to change centerline, vibration won't be affected.
I've proved this with a sample of one on the '86 SDL. I've been chasing a driveline vibration for years and had both discs changed. They had the usual small cracks.......still serviceable. The new discs had no effect on the vibration. I'm about out of options and have to change the driveshaft.
