There isn't much clear information because its simply down to the particular designer, and how they've dressed it up. Then you have to try and filter out what is real engineered in flex and what is marketing bullshit.
But basically, you need some torsional flex along the long axis of the car to help the suspension and traction, but as little bend in the longitudinal axis as possible. Flex across the chassis is pretty much a non-issue as there isn't really any way to apply a load........
And when we say "flex" we mean giving the chassis a damn good yank will move it slightly, not "flexing all over the place".
