With a fairly straight piece of lumber (esp. one 35" long), shouldn't I
be able to cut one flat side, then flip and rip without issue?


NO! With a "fairly straight" board as your reference edge, you can't do any
better than to get "fairly straight" results. If you want "perfectly straight"
results, you need to start with a perfectly straight board.
