Not OP, but I also use flat keycaps, so I thought I’d chime in. I’m not really sure why your hands would hurt with flat keycaps, but one of the reasons I chose to use flats were to allow for easier chording with Plover.
I don’t know how to answer you exactly. My hands don’t hurt. Maybe it’s because of the combo of the ortholinear keyboard and the Dvorak layout causing me to move my fingers minimally.
Serious question: How do you type on flat profile without having your hands hurt? I could never get use to flat keys and spherical work the best.

Well, I keep my keyboard laid pretty flat and typing on flat keys makes my fingers slip slightly which in turn causes me to hold my hands unnaturally.
