Merely accepting exchanges does not imply flow. The belief is that getting flow enhances sampling, but the latter is hard to demonstrate without showing that "simulation time to converged sampling" actually reduces. I'm not aware of anybody who's actually done that - but it would certainly be an advantage if your application is interested in data at a range of temperatures.
