There was already a statement on tyFlow Facebook group from Tyson a while ago.
It is not ruled out that he will write a new edition of the Flex Modifier, but is currently not the top priority. There was a longer story arround it.
Also there is already some kind of a rewritten Flex modifier from Marius Silaghi, called Jiggle.

And in 3dsmax the modifier system is intended to be used procedural in a stack wise way. So for caching there is the point cache modifier. Place it on top of flex and record it, then set it to prelaod and disable flex. Then you have a proper fast playback.
An alternativie is also to place a helper at a proper location with spring controller and link your geometry with a VolumeSelect Modifier in soft selection mode plus LinkedX-Form Modifer.
