Have you compared the time it takes to demux TrueHD to the time it takes to demux TrueHD and transcode it to FLAC? Both by using eac3to? I think there's probably not much of a difference because the most time consuming thing is probably reading and writing from/to harddisk. And that doesn't differ when using eac3to cause eac3to can demux and transcode in one step.

You need HDMI 1.3 devices to transport TrueHD bitstream. But as far as I know every HDMI 1.3 device can also transport multichannel PCM sound. Now every audio format can be sent lossless via PCM. So if you have HDMI 1.3 devices you can also send FLAC without any loss to the receiver. So I don't see any advantage for TrueHD.
