I wonder...could it be used in place of flannel? What do you think?

So what is the legal description of "flannel". Its cotton (or other fabric) brushed with a nap. In my experience over the years, flannelette is a bit thinner than quilters's flannel. And to go on, suiting flannel is a bunch heavier than quilting flannel.
