I have no idea, but google says it can be done on Wii. I guess I'll ask on Dolphin forums.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

The Internet Channel could play Flash content.

It was an obsolete version of the Flash player. And by that I mean it was obsolete even on release day.

Flash in Dolphin sounds like a fever dream! I found this btw - https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-make-flash-game-wad-injects.561406/ Maybe it's possible to be make a tool for packing flash games into custom Wii roms, so that it will be standard. The only issue is that keymapping would be slightly different for each game.

I tried it a few years ago and indeed it's a fever dream. Wii's FlashPlayer is very old, screen resolution is fixed, and you can't load files from local storage, only from online. Which means you start depending on something completely unpredictable. We have a thread about Flash in Gnash in libTAS, and it worked fine in Bionic. Newer Ubuntu breaks deps, but you shouldn't have problems installing older releases. FlashPlayer support in libTAS is also being worked on.

the linux requirement is hardly a barrier to entry now with WSL 2 having an X server integrated.

WSL2 is a thing in Windows 10 that allows you to run some Linux things. Including libTAS. Though sdl-gnash may not work there.
