I agree 100%. It's not worth it to not do it. 5 extra minutes and it saves headaches later.

I'm now having issues with the system force closing on me a lot. Sometimes to the point where I have to reboot. There is SOME flickering bit only when looking at the pictures in my gallery.

Hmm that's strange. How are you flashing the rom to your phone? I haven't had any problems anymore with mine. A few in the beginning but they've subsided.

That sucks that your getting so many problems. I've had hardly any issues with this one. My screen started to flicker yesterday so I reset the phone and it worked fine after that. I've read somewhere that if you flash another ROM then go back and flash the one you want, can work some of the kinks out.

I've always read to flash the new rom after wiping the caches

I flash a bunch and I still screw this up sometimes, it's easy to do. Hopefully that takes care of your problems. I still haven't had time to flash the M1 build yet, but it sounds like from everyone's early reports it's pretty usable as a daily driver. Honestly, stock on this isn't so bad so I haven't felt a whole lot of pressure to switch yet.

You forgot to add wipe dalvik and cache again after flashing gapps and before rebooting. Apparently it's a necessary step to prevent bootloops on Jellybean.
