Field curvature could also make things worse in the real world. It depends which way it goes and whether the corners of your image go the same way relative to the centre

Yes, true. Also that is the reason a flat field lens can be bad in the real world, depending on what you are photographing, i.e., non-flat subjects. In fact, it may be awful more often than one with a curved field.

I'd take a lens with a flat field over one with field curvature. Judging depth of field and getting predictable results is a nightmare if a lens has severe field curvature.
