Toally agree on the flash part. You are talking about some pretty slow shutters there so can I assume you are talking about shooting stationary subjects then and not live subjects? 1/30" is going to guaranty me a blurred image because I shoot mostly people. I prefer to keep it above 1/80". However if I am shooting stationary subjects, the 4 stops of OS in my 17-50 is more than enough to shoot without flash.

Fair enough. I'd shoot the same thing the same way. I'm just not fond of broad generalizations. If you had said "I don't like to shoot indoors on a crop without a flash unless I have at least an f1.8 lens" I would have never said anything. It was more the wording of the statement that basically said that anyone shooting anything indoors without a flash required a lens faster than f2.8. That's a completely different statement because people have different things they want to shoot and indoor natural lighting varies quite a bit more than a single stop.
