Is it suggested to flush the transmission as the owners manual suggests? Is it safe or will it cause issues?

No, just changing the fluid and filter is the correct procedure. Flushing is just something to flush your wallet.

You are correct, my bad. By flush I was as well referring to fluid and filter change. Apologies.
