There is really no need to put a steep angle on flamenco peg heads anymore because of the mechanical pegs, sold today, that don't move up with wear.
The old peg styles used to wear out in the holes and gravitate up, so there had to be some compensation for the wear factor.
There are diverse interpretations to each of questions / matters. Some from different aspects / approach, some on less pointy ways or addressing side phenomenon, some in erring, and then some, respectively often just one, which simply hits main functional core.
Nice about the latter being how they tend to slide down synapsis and hit cortex, like a strike in bowling. ... Probably, as empirics will have pathed reception beforehand.
And usually they will come in like poetry. Prosa poetry, so to say.
That´s what makes the luthery thread interesting to me as layman.

BTW; I would had thought that a steeper angle helps an axe to stay in tune. But, as nothing the like has been said here, suppose to have been wrong, respectively that the little of enhanced friction won´t do much, as long as structure and tuners won´t be giving in.
Aesthetically, to me all too steep angles (like on lutes or ouds) look a bit strange, -and in practice it would make me worry about accidental damage.
