No. Gtk2 is required for Adobe Flash (NPAPI) support[1]. --disable-npapi is
unlikely[2] due to extra maintenance cost unless tested together[3] with
other --disable-* options.

Current www/firefox still supports www/flashplayer (confirmed myself)
despite confusion[4]. According to upstream (linked in bug 1455897) it
will stop around Firefox 73.0 if not postponed until after ESR76.

Thanks for the info. Do you think we could switch to libcanberra-gtk3 like the attached patch?
