My bet is on no since aircraft wasn't flight tested with flaps extended above 20.000ft and is therefore not certified for such operation - nor is it likely that it will ever be, given that no airport in the world requires use of flaps above FL200.

BTW, if it's a short leg and assuming you have appropriate amount of fuel to fly to preferred airport, why even bother with flying outside of certification scope?
