I kind of think most 27.2 droppers with enough travel are inherently comfy flexy. It's the small diameter main shaft. It's probably been a decade now but I had a 27.2 Thomson external dropper on hardtail and you could really feel the give on it. That custom frame actually developed a creak with rigid posts from I think a bonded in permanent shim/reducer, but it was always quiet with the dropper. I chalked it up to the flex occurring in the dropper before getting to the frame insertion area.
