It's confirmed that Escort Fleet Flagship can't sink in Combined Fleet maps.

However, retreating when she's in Heavy Damage is actually better for you, as it sets into your mindset that Red = Retreat. That way you also stay safe on the off-chance you thought you saw the ship in red was the flagship when in reality it was someone else.

Last (and only) time I ever tested my luck was in Summer 2015 E7 Last Dance, with ABKM K2 in Flagship hit to Red at the Pre-boss node. It was nerve-wracking and I never did it again.
