Jeff So basically as SR Flex Algo uses SR data plane (SID ,context) uniqueness for SR-MPLS label uniqueness and SRv6 Locator uniqueness as compare to IP Flex Algo IP Data plane is destination prefix based.
So you could literally have both IP flex algo and SR flex also data plane as mutually exclusive data plane work in parallel as two ships in the night. SRv6 uses Longest prefix match and in SRv6-BE w/o SRH which would be destination based IP and SRv6-BE in parallel to IP Flex algo would not work as they would collide on the IPv6 data plane.
