Flat roofs have gotten quite good lately. In Europe, modern flat roofs have an almost 200 year history (look up Berliner Dach for examples) and if they are well executed, there are no issues. The bigger issue with modern building techniques is the omission of constructive building protection (e.g. roof overhang, which protects buildings from driving rain) And instead an overreliance on modern materials.
