Personally, I like the symbolisms and explanations for the flag, but I like the aesthetic appeal and simplicity of the utilitarian flag a lot more.
I have two somewhat nitpicky comments on the aesthetics:
Some people might not understand that what’s on the flag is a sun (without seeing the explanation). It looks like a red, Chinese fan to me. The sun could be made to look simpler and more like a sun, i.e. fewer rays and being a circle instead of a semicircle.
It’s hard for me to like or get used to these colors, but I think the symbolism behind them means they should stay as is.
Nevertheless, even if the two aesthetic comments I said above aren’t done, I think this is good enough!

Yeah, I do think it’s a bit more complicated than generally accepted vexillological best practices.
I had to Google vexillological—I learned a new word today!
Interesting point re the sun — I literally just copied it from Malawi’s flag and tweaked a few things :-)
I still understood it as a sun, but maybe 10-20% of people won’t?
