Well, you seem to have researched that indeed, however here are three points which you didn't mention:
On one of those mass flash sites your game will be just another run down the mill, no-one really looks at game
If you self-host advertisement revenues actually go to you to help fund the game, and getting a simple cloud-host to run your game is really simple and cheap (even free unless you have many players).
By the time your game is likely finished (if at all, lets be honest here... most hobbisit games fail), HTML5 will likely be rock solid and well supported by every browser, while Flash will be a thing long forgotten and blocked as a security vulnerability on most browsers by default
You could easily use one of the many available HTML5 FOSS game engines that also run in a modern browser with no extra plugin (and are actually better on mobile platforms, since many of those have flash disabled)
Since you are working on a RPG, these are some options specifically meant for these games (which I could quickly find... not an expert on the topic); no specific order:
But actually... guess your engine and publishing plans are a bit dissapointing for many FOSS friends on this webpage too. Sure it is great that you release the artwork you fund freely, but the game itself (while it might be free as in beer) is totally non-free as in freedom (adobe flash and released on kongregate right?) .
nice song, but it has a probably un-free image embedded in the mp3.
Obviously a Gunstar Heroes tribute mixed with some Sonic themed stuff :p
Really nice stuff though!
Neat, reminds me of Gameboy stuff ;)
that might be just what I need right now ;) Thanks!
Edit: ok a small installation guide would have been nice. needs to be in the plug-in directory, remove the .txt and (under linux) make it excecutable.
It will show up under filter/enhance.

But yeah, that is a bit speculation on my part ;)
Awesome! I posted about it here on our blog:

As always very nice!

http://rpgjs.com/ (with commercial toolset)
http://code.google.com/p/jgen/ (less specific)
http://hacks.mozilla.org/2012/03/browserquest/ (very advanced multiplayer features and FOSS sample game included)
For sure, release early and often ;)

Especially the goblin is great :)
