basically, there is a 45 degree brake flaring tool at hand. can it be used to make hard lines to replace the flex hose on the n2o plate setup in OP's car or are we hurting ourselves?

I haven't plumbed an NOS setup before, so I don't know the answer to the first part. But beyond looks, the AN stuff is better suited to come apart and go together lots of times without seal degredation.
I know people who have used a 45 deg flare tool in conjunction with the AN fittings/tube sleeves and tube nuts with success. I don't think its recommended, but it can work if the flares are good. The tube sleeve ends up taking up the difference.

Slide the tube nut over the line, then the tube sleeve, then flare the line and if the flare is good, it should seal. But I would still prefer to see the proper flare tool used.
