I wanted to respond to this even with it being resolved because I think everyone should read Eliza Witkowsk article and look at the ACF-JSON solution. Its literally a 2 minute implementation.

We are building an ACF driven modular website requiring Flexible Content. We did a test with a page having all 15 modules added and it originally showing 175 Queries and a 10 second load time locally (we use a remote DB). Our remote site was varying from 2-4 seconds.

We did the JSON technique and we are now 50 Queries, with a 2.75s locally and 1.75s remotely. This is UNCACHED.

Big thanks to Wootimes for posting this and Eliza for writing it!
