By the same token, airflow through the slot can also stop the trigger. So, while in some cases sealing the gap can prevent flutter, in other cases, it can create it.
Yup as you and Rodney posted...

All too often the hinge gap width requirements are grossly overstated.

I've seen people here frantic about a 2-3mm gap on a medium-large plane.

If that's all you have, why worry?
