If, theoretically, all those '10 or less in a gaggle' are equipped with ADS-B Out and In, and 'a good tactical display', will the information/warnings provided be still inferior to that of FLARM? Just curious...

Absolutely. ADS-B only provides a 3D position, so all the nearby gliders in the thermal will be considered a threat. FLARM provides a position and a predicted future position, so only potential collisions produce an alert.
