The flutter app is already happening: https://github.com/go-vikunja/app

It's meant more for mobile applications though. The frontend (in combination with electron / tauri) is for desktop devices.
Given the complexity of the current frontend I don't think well migrate everything over to flutter anytime soon (if ever). The mobile app will be more of an addition.

Another point is the technical side, which is solved with flutter (compiling one codebase to all platforms) but the ux and usage patterns people expect on different on most platforms. That's a lot harder to solve.
