SleepingInAirports cites this as a possibility, but I've found a few DPs in the past year that it's not a concern in T8:
11pm - 6am,
midnight - 6am, and
mightnight - 7am.
I'm hopeful that the dedicated security for Flagship check-in will also be extra-lenient? This is pretty concerning for me though as I don't want to stay landside.
In the sleeping airports article, it states if you are landside you may not be able to get through. This is the case from my experience.
I'm unsure specifically of checkpoint timings, but I've been turned away for arriving more than 4 hours before my flight - in the late morning for an evening flight.
There is no dedicated security for flagship check in, it is only dedicated check in. It leads to the same lines to the same checkpoints, although you'll get an escort to the front of the line (for the podium) during busy times.
