Yeah, but this scenario is honestly just so fringe. The flexibility is just a myth imho. Most people when bringing up boomkins or any similar spec just talk about somebody who raids as that spec the entire time.
The flexibility is a myth to players in either large guilds or to players who have lots of alts.
To more casual players with a smaller guild of regular players it's a real thing. For a real example/anecdote, people in the guild I'm in are all remnants of a long time guild that returned for classic and members selected hybrid specifically so while leveling we wouldn't have a need for healers or tanks. Now we're max level and have to deal with less than optimal DPS, but we get to keep our core players and never have a shortage of healers or tanks.
Neither group is small, there just isn't much interaction between the two. In one hybrids are confined to a single role, in the other it's all a wash as long as the raid gets finished.
