All spot-on.
A fast WA, on a body with good high ISO performance, is pretty much your only option in a lot of spaces.
The no flash is simple; no one really knows what flash does to objects, when you subject them to thousands of hits a year, for years on end.
And the no photos is also simple: a lot of people simply don't know how to turn the flash off, and yelling at them simply spoils the event for all. And, a lot of places, if you allowed photos you;'d never get the group out of there. they'd be in all day, shooting room after room, wall after all, object after object.
My preferred technique, to avoid the posed/mugging selfie crowd, is the be at the back of the pack, study the site, take a photo or photos when they have moved on, and then catch up.
Most tours have a "sweeper" the person assigned to herd people like me along, and point us to the next spot. You'll get to be familiar with your sweeper, if you use my method.
