Allowing the blue filter to pass some yellow will ever so slightly reduce the flicker withut hurting overall color saturation.

I'm afraid that allowing the blue filter to pass enough yellow to get a better white would affect the blue saturation significantly (and the magenta also), However, if you are starting from the very dark and saturated blue of the wratten filter, reducing the saturation is exactly what CBS did to get their lower-flicker primaries, so in that case I agree with this strategy - but it really did desaturate the blues and magentas compared to NTSC.
