Quick follow-up. I gave up on Digital Ocean quite quickly, for two reasons:
No free tier to try things out; I ended up buying $5 of credit but ended up not using because...
...it was all a bit too cryptic for me, especially coming from Heroku. From having to choose which operating system to install on my droplet and the lack of a straightforward "deploy Flask to Digital Ocean" tutorial (there seems to be one tutorial for each possible droplet configuration!), it was all too overwhelming while Heroku was such a breeze.
So I am quite happy for now with Heroku. Flask API deployed, AWS S3 configured to host my static files, and in the process of deploying my Vue frontend.
