The death of Adobe's Flash has been a long one. At one time, the product was seemingly ubiquitous on the web, but as Steve Jobs noted in 2010, it has one of the worst security records of its time. In fact, Apple was among the first to lead the charge on killing off Flash, starting with its refusal to support Adobe's multimedia product on the iPhone.
Fast-foward to today, when Apple's latest Safari Technical Preview for macOS removes Flash support completely. Indeed, that means that when the next version of Safari ships, there won't be anymore Flash.
Adobe originally promised to phase out support for the product by the end of 2020, and browser-makers followed suit. In fact, in browsers like Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome, it's been disabled by default for some time. Both companies, however, are making a similar promise to eliminate the product completely by the end of the year.
- Flash Player Announcement. ATTENTION: Important Changes to Extended Support Release. The Extended Support Release was originally created to help minimize the time IT administrators spend certifying a new Flash Player release, by restricting the number of changes introduced in a given release to only security changes and critical functional fixes.
- Safari no longer supports most web plug-ins. To load webpages more quickly, save energy, and strengthen security, Safari is optimized for content that uses the HTML5 web standard, which doesn't require a plug-in. To enhance and customize your browsing experience, use Safari extensions instead of web plug-ins.
- Apple Safari version 14, released for macOS in September 2020, will no longer load Adobe Flash Player or play Flash content. Please visit Apple’s Safari support for more information. For Mac OS X 10.11, macOS 10.12, and later Open Safari, and choose Safari Preferences.

Safari doesn't support say webm and there could be other formats too. If the website has really old infrastructure, still there is another alternative to Flash Player. Develop menu → User Agent.
It's unclear when the next version of Safari will ship. Perhaps Apple might wait for the next version of macOS, which will be out this fall. Obviously, the Cupertino firm will still ship the browser to older versions of the OS though, even if it lines up the release with an OS release.
