Does anyone have any experience with mounting the Kreg Flip-Stop in Incra T-Track Plus? I’ve looked at several photos online and it seems like it would work just fine…

There's a special sensor inside the Kreg stop that instructs it to stop working when installed in a competitor's track....
It should work fine, although the converse could give you a little trouble (see below). I just tried mounting one of my Kreg stops in an Incra track without difficulty.
The reason I say that you might have trouble going the other way around is that the slot in the Kreg track is relatively shallow, quite a bit shallower than in the Incra track. Both the Kreg and Incra tracks are designed to work with off-the-shelf 1/4"-20 hardware, but the Kreg track is just barely deep enough to accommodate a standard 1/4"-20 nut, so a thick nut (or bolt head) might not fit.

Luckily I can disable that sensor with my Langstrom seven-inch gangly wrench.Thanks for the feedback. I've got both on order, so I should have a real-world test in a couple of days.
OK - Here's the real world results:The Kreg Production stop does fit on the Incra Plus track. The Incra track is a bit taller, so the shop made fence dimensions that Kreg shows should be reduced by about 1/4" in height. Given the price difference between the Kreg track and the Incra track, I see no reason to buy the more expensive Kreg track. Unless you really like it's pretty blue color....
