I think not having a backup was my problem. I was using it plus a shield backpack and Quasar. Probably too much heavy damage and not enough to deal with the smaller stuff. I might go for that ship module to add 25% fire damage to the flamethrower and give that a shot. Then I can snipe the big stuff and burn away everything else!
Definitely. Things like the Stalwart or Arc Thrower work well as backups, they can handle crowds or smaller enemies better, though the stalwart almost requires a supply pack to be long term viable, which makes me feel like I’m just running an autocannon build, but I just swapped the autocannon to my primary, and the supply pack for the autocannon ammo pack.
Only something like the Arc Thrower/Blitzer/maybe Laser Cannon eliminate the need for a supply pack, truly creating a new niche build and opening backpack selection up.

Even without the ship upgrade, the flamethrower is in a decent place. Just hope your teammates are too, hehe
