I use flanking as is mostly from a 4e holdover when we started playing 5e. There is no problems that overpower the game. It does bring the thief into combat and away from bow use. The fighter may charge into the room to position himself for a few attacks thinking that a few other PCs come in and flank. I find that it makes combat go faster and end quicker rather than dragging when the last couple monsters are left.
It does seem to make the thief hit every turn for backstab damage. It also allows the fighter to hit more as well along with the cleric who would not hit that much without advantage.
