I never had any issues with the little flux that stays around the solder

Thetas because you don't work on industrial, military, or aerospace

leakage paths on a PC board. If its humid enough, it can damage bare
copper traces, over time. On cheap throw away chinese **** doesn't
matter if you clean it, or not.
