Hello,
My answer to this would be the business requirements dictates the solution. I see so many people start with the tool and run around looking for a problem to solve which is backwards. When you're a hammer everything looks like a nail. You need to ask questions to ultimately make an informed decision about the chosen tool to solve a business problem. Some are much more obvious than others (e.g. I use SharePoint Online and need a simple approve process). If you give a requirement to a server-side developer, guess what you will get as a solution, a server-side custom developed solution. If you ask a business user, you will get an Excel-based solution or InfoPath because its what people know. The following questions comes to mind:
For example if my client gives me a business problem and they are primarily in Office 365, sure I will likely look to Flow, PowerApps, SharePoint, etc to solve the need. However, I have cilents that use SmartSheet over MS tools, and other clients that are heavy into Slack and it wouldn't be cost-effective to move to MS for that one need.
You need to review what Flow can do and offer, and determine (given the environment and available tools and skills of users involved) if that is the right solution.
As Microsoft Flow works so well with SharePoint, PowerApps, Planner, Forms and email as well as having over 100 other connectors, it is the best solution for people like me who are effectively power users rather than developers. We can now do so much very quickly that used to need to be sent out to our development teams or an external contractor. So my work as an intranet & SharePoint manager uses all these applications for everything and Flow ties them all together. I wouldn't use any of the others you mention because I don't know them.
