Nor does it change the fact that a theory cannot be both unfalsifiable and have evidence that goes against it.

Is there evidence that "goes against" the hypothesis that the flagellum is an example of irreducible complexity?

Yes; in fact, the claim has been falsified.

Unfortunately for ID, IC is a side issue. IC can be false and ID will still be untestable. A designer that can do anything and everything conceivable is by definition outside the scope of science.
