Could have added a few pages more, but as someone dealing with this on IB, it's mostly my headache, and that of other site coders. Unfortunately there's no magic solution for perfect emulation - many games won't work, or work slow - and worse, no guarantee that a local copy of Flash will work after this month. It's likely to involve fiddling with mms.cfg.
One bit I didn't get much into is HTML5 game creation and hosting. Both are, of course, a thing - itch.io, Newgrounds, Kongregate and Facebook all support such games. But they're more of a headache than just dealing with a single file, and for that reason you may see fewer dedicated hosts and greater fragmentation in the short term.
