Ok, Thanks!
Some interesting points.

I see the point with the increased drag. In this case of full flaps you are more a "leaf" in the wind than with less flaps, is that what you mean?

And I see the speed limit point. But here is the next question:
Lets say you have Vref 130 Wind 30 gusting 45 (as per handbook you make additional half wind plus full gust up to a max of 20kts), meaning 130+15+15 = (130+15+the remaining 5 due to max 20) = 150kts.

Will you still add the the increment of, lets say, 8kts for lower flap selection and make it to a total of 158kts?

Best
