We don't need FLARM. What we need is a low cost version of ADS-B that is

I agree.

But... I doubt ADS-B will have the smarts to provide intelligent
warnings and ignore false alerts due to the close proximity we fly in.

I understand FLARM does a good job of recognizing which gliders in the
gaggle may pose a threat. Correct?

I have not flown with Flarm but a comment that I received from an
experienced pilot flying with his new Flarm unit in a competition this
summer was: 'I ended up switching it off half the time because it was going
off all the time when thermalling in gaggles'
