Flash drives are definitely better than burning ISOs to disc, but don't forget that we had CD-RW discs that allowed multiple burns.
Just in case you don't already know this: of you're frequently fiddling with ISO files on a flash drive, go check out Ventoy! It lets you put multiple iso files directly on the drive and will offer a boot menu of which one to use. It's brilliant. Plus you can still use the rest of the space on the stick for regular storage as usual.
In HS photography class the teacher gave us CD-RW discs to use as flash drives to keep our pictures on and they actually lasted all semester using them every day.
i never thought the rw discs worked well enough to be trustworthy but for the application you described ie not critical it did the job. damn i remember those days. so glad about usb drives and now i guess everyone just uses cloud.
