As already stated earlier, the Fokker 100/70 regularly departed with zero flap and no slats 'cos it didn't have any LE devices. When performance limited then a Flap 8 or Flap 15 departure would be flown. Don't have any performance data to hand but "the ridiculous increase in runway length when doing a no flap take off" was never an issue
