Cowboy Ken is entertaining, but he gets a lot of stuff wrong...also, he's just "clickbait". That said, I would agree that flaxseed oil is expensive overkill and it flakes.
I also agree, smoking oil is extra oil on the surface of the pan, not polymerized oil...two different things.
I've used leaf lard for cooking, baking, and CI seasoning for years. Season new CI 1-2 times and start cooking with it...cooking builds seasoning, don't waste time "re-seasoning"
One of the best maintenance things you can do for seasoned CI is to scramble eggs in them...don't know why, but it puts a real nice black sheen back on the skillet.
