All sorts of new problems will follow. Haxe can be debugged in IntelliJ, which most developers I know consider better than FlashBuilder/Eclipse. The design view might be missing, but I've not seen a single serious project using that. Besides, nobody stops you from generating AS3 code from 'Flex Haxe' and then debug that just like you did before. should Flash really be your chosen target platform. Others however might decide to compile it towards different platforms.
