You can clean flash the ROM without issue. It is better to switch over to eng.stk's TWRP. Yours is too old and may not take kindly to Oreo.I am still on 3.2.8 with root and TWRP (3.1.0) and would like to make the jump to OB35 (because of face unlock)
Can I just clean flash the full ROM with TWRP ?
And will it keep TWRP or do I need to flash again ?

The TWRP will be overwritten by stock recovery, so after flashing the ROM, without rebooting, flash TWRP again. For some people (including me) even this is not sufficient. You will have to flash Magisk immediately after flashing TWRP and then boot.

No worries man. Even i missed it the first time I was looking for it. Download section is located near the thread title so can be missed on a casual glance.

Btw can I flash latest TWRP no matter what Android version? I'm on MM 3.2.8
Tanks that must be clear now I can flash the ROM using my existing old TWRP but have to flash the new TWRP as the old might not work with Oreo.
So :
wipe system and data with existing old recovery
Flash ROM
Flash Blu spark TWRP
Flash Magisk
should I flash blu spark kernel also right away? or can I do that later?
- Flash new TWRP
- Enter TWRP
- Make a backup
- Flash the beta & magisk
- Wipe caches
- Boot system
Stock kernel is fine, no need to flash anything else unless you want to.
Nope.But still you need to flash new TWRP after flashing ROM in your fourth step otherwise you will have stock recovery ....?
Nova has it as an option, I think under Gestures.It didn't went quite smooth. I wiped and tried to flash using the old 3.1.0 TWRP but got error 7. So I flashed Blu spark TWRP and rebooted into new recovery. Than I flashed ROM TWRP again and Magisk. However no root after booting and stock recovery. So I had to flash TWRP over fastboot and flash Magisk again. Now I am running beta 35.
Runs smooth, a bit strange that the double tap to lock is only for OnePlus launcher (I use Nova)
There are two methods. You need to be using the one I have selected.Correct i knew and it works , but i was confused because you have to wait for like 10-20 seconds before it actually locks and you are able to unlock the normal way.
