Oh yeah. They were directly related to present day events and explained things that we simply wouldn't have understood otherwise, such as why Adam is working with Cinder or exactly why Ren was so upset about the Nuckelavee. They also didn't recap or disrupt a storytelling - even the mini flashback in Burning the Candle when Yang was telling Blake her story was well executed; it wasn't a flashback so much as an artistic way of showing the story that she was telling in real time.
